   Hey people, fitting my gaz shocks and the old top part of the shock has a torx bit so the shock does not spin, but the gaz ones dont it a ajuster. How do i stop the gaz shock from spinning while doing up the top mount nut? Cheers.

   you could hold the shock itself with some grips or something if you can get to it through the spring, just be carefull not to damage the shock maybe wrap something around it 1st to protect it from the grips

   Get some mole grips between the spring to hold the inner damper and bang the nut on with a impact gun! Worked for me.

   Windy gun and hold the shock with your hand to stop it spinning.
