I just finished installing new front struts and got the KDSS put back together. I’m now torquing it all up, but I can’t figure out how to torque the passenger side upper link nut as you need an Allen ranch to hold the bolt while you’re torquing the nut. I can’t do this with a socket style torque wrench. I’ve got this as tight as I can get it with a 19 mm wrench. Do I need to get an open wrench style adapter for my torque wrench?

Also, the FSM doesn’t say anything about torquing this particular nut. For the driver side, it talks about the bolt on the bottom and the nut at the top and provides torque values.
