def don't hit it with the impact gun it will break the shaft had that happen with my tickico d-spec struts which are the equivilant to the agx both ajustible dampining your best bet is to get everything back together tighten by hand till shaft starts spining then bolt up assyembly to the car the other option is to take a strap wrench and put that around the shaft and torque down thats what i ended up doin and supension is tight hope it helps good luck
