...into my 2009 GT. The problem is that when I attempt to loosen the nut holding the shock piston shaft, the shock piston shaft turns with the nut. Online Shelby instructions offer, "Using the crescent wrench hold the top of the shock piston shaft while using the 15mm wrench to unbolt the upper mounting fastener." That's of no help because a crescent wrench simply won't keep the shock piston shaft from turning when I turn the nut.
My photo below shows what I'm dealing with. When I turn the nut (indicated by the red arrow and what Shelby calls an "upper mounting fastener"), the shaft (indicated by the green arrow) also turns. Is there some sort of special Ford tool that's designed to keep the shaft from turning while also turning the nut or am I relegated to a crescent wrench? Thanks.
