I got some shocks and filled them up with some 50wt. But the mounting is where I'm stuck. The problem is that I can't fully tighten the bolt completely. Why ? The shockcap has two different sizes of holes (see picture). The one with the biggest hole should be pointing away from the shocktower right ? In the bigger hole the bolt is secured, but the problem is that my tool does not fit in that hole, it's just a little bit to big. It fits perfectly in the plastic shockcaps but not in the alu ones. How did you guys do this because this is driving me crazy. I also have the original AE tools but the diameter on the 5,5mm tool is even bigger than my own tool.

Please help as I was planning on driving tomorrow (with the alu shocks).

EDIT
I succeeded, while I was working on my STe I found a small toolset which handled the job.
