The shock nut had locktite on it so it took a bit of force to remove it and the strap wrench method did not work at all to hold the shaft from spinning. Had to put a socket on the top of the rod which was a bit worrying since I didn't know if it could handle the torque before breaking but it held. The torx bolt on the camber plate was also hard to remove and I almost stripped one trying to remove them.
How much torque the top nut need?
