On the fronts put the car on the ground. For the rears use a vice grip on the top...

i asked this same question a lil while ago (thank you john) and if you release the spring a little bit and put some pressure on the mount they shouldn't spin, let me know what works best i still needed to put mine together

your welcome, but yeah, start the nut on by hand, then release the spring compressor some to put pressure against the mount, this will help keep the strut shaft from turning. If it is a plastic lined lock nut, and you are tightening by hand....you may still have difficulties.

I used an open end socket with the appropriate allen key, or smaller socket depending on brand, to hold the shaft in place while tightening. If going with this tecnique, leave all the tension OFF the mount, and have the spring fully compressed.

Ok, i got it. Got it all installed by myself in about 9-10 hours. Just used an impact wrench extremely carefully.
