When I do it this way, I find that when the nut is tightened down, as soon as the washer contacts the case, it stops rotating and only the dome nut is rotating (whilst of course holding the head of the bolt stationary).

Happy to be corrected or pointed toward a better way but so far this has worked well for me.
Yes, that is essentially what I did. Also- all of washers were marked when the nut was installed, to confirm that there was no rotation after tightening/torquing.

Now I can move on to the pistons & cylinders (again)!
