You can stop the shaft from turning by putting the appropriate screwdriver or bit right into the top of the shaft - you can then use an open wrench to tighten the nut.

The shaft spinning is fairly normal - it's no indication of anything broken.

might be what i forgot to do this time... LOL Ill check.

This is my 4th set of springs... I hate spring sag.

you will need to use allen key to stop shaft from spinning..
do not use hex, it will damage and you will end up using vice grip..
