it basically only need another 1/4 turn or so, and i have never had an issue getting them tight when back on the car. usually i get it semi tight, get the fron suspension back together, put it on the ground and with pressure from the car, it wont spin the piston. well the drivers side aint working so well LOL
i loosened it off without it spinning at first to "crack" it before removing everything....
soo odd. i gave him a socket to take home and try it after a good days drive.
hopefully its fixed as it will obviously give a bit of a clunk over big bumps on that side.
but strut bearings fixed the problem. took forever and a year to do it tho as i had to take apart the complete stock assembly LOL

IIRC at the top of the piston rod there is place to put a hex head socket or something, and using that to prevent the piston from spinning, use a box wrench to tighten the nut.
