How to tighten top shiock nut on Buddy Club

Well the top nut on the front shock is loose and ive tried to tighten it but the whole shaft spins when it gets to a point.

I would like to know what is the right torque for the nut and how should i tighten it.

use an appropriate sized wrench with an allen wrench in the center to hold the shaft still.

I don't know the torque spec but this nut doesn't need to be soo tight. 20-40lbs?

Unless Buddy Club has a different torque spec, as per the EVO manual the nut should be torqued to 45 +/- 7 ft-lb.
