hey

alright i got my cup kit today. so i did the installation like
that guy explained
http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w203-c-class/1266653-suspension-removal.html?highlight=lowering

anyhow i got the stock shocks w/ spring out.
now i tried to put the h&r spring on the shock
and now i cant the rubber hat back on.
i tried compressing the spring as much as possible,
it just wouldnt be enough to screw the rubber hat on.

so now me and my friend had an idea to install the shock
on the car with the shock on, and the rubber hat and the shock plate are
already in the shock tower. so i lowered the car with the jack so
i used the car to compress the spring to fit in the shock.

now my question, there is this little wierd lookin nut
it is to tighten up the rubber hat. do i need a special tool
to tighten it up? i kinda tightend it up with a flat screwdriver and
than i put the bolt on top and tighten it up.

can someone tell if thats okay or how else can i do it?
