Spring Install Help Needed...

When I try to loosen this bolt the shaft spins. How can I keep it from doing this?

see that hole in the middle of the threads? you place a 5mm allen key/wrench, hold, and loosen.

Yep, Use an allen key (5mm) to hold it and a combination wrench (14mm) you loose it. Hope for the best, I have had 2 of the struts (the allen key part) strip out on me.
