its the omp one off ebay before i start.... nuts came off the suspension for it to go on but when i go to tighten with strutbrace on the thread is just spinning, you have to use a socket to tighten it so there's no ways of holding it...any ideas?

i normally just grab hold of the strut to tighten the bolts up anyway. Using the rubber dust cover gets you abit more grip on it
