Shock tower nut torque down help

I'll try again without predictive text!!

I am having trouble trying to torque down the front shock tower nut, when you do the shock starts to spin and I cannot see a way to lock it off to tighten it.

Thank you

Nigel

if I remember right, there is a little notch on the washer. Put something there to hold it against the chasis while you are turning the nut, a short socket will work

If you have a compressor, try an air impact wrench.
