Hey guys..

Soo i got some BC coilovers.. and i forgot to tighten the top nut before i put them in the car.. now there in the car and i wanna tighten them...but how do i go about tightening them ??

Everytime i turn the top nut, its turning the piston with it too.. i know that with my old setup,(koni yellow) you can just put a hex key at the top of the piston to hold it in position.. so when you tighten the top nut it wont spin with it.

But now i have a adjustment knob in the way. how do i keep the piston from free spinning with the top nut as i tighten it?


Thanks

under the adjustment knob, is that a nut?
chances are you can use smaller spanner to hold it while tightening the lower larger nut
exactly you old koni's were

you need 2 spanners.

Can anyone confirm this?

I dont want to accidentally loosen the bolt

EDIT: Had a quick fiddle and found out the knob comes off to reveal a hex hole =).. All done.
