Having problems torquing the Elephant Racing front monoball.
I am installing the ER front monoballs, and can not gat any tool to hold the bottom whilst I torque the top. The camber plate is shaped in such a way that there is not enough for me to grab on the bottom part of the monoball. I have tightened it up as much as I can, but now it just spins and is not tightened to the specified torque setting.
Any advice on how to keep the bottom part from spinning would be greatly appreciated - I will assume that using the monoballs when not torqued to the correct setting is a BAD idea!!

I use a big pair of channel locks to grip the bottom. Takes two people, one to hold the channels locks another to tighten the top.

Thank you scottb - that is what I am using, but I can not get a good grip. I will have to go and get a smaller pair, maybe the one I am using is to big.
