Default Teraflex leveling kit sway bar link help

I'm installing the teraflex leveling kit today; the spacer type, and the drivers side went on without a hitch but when I went to tighten the upper sway bar link on the passenger side it just spins and unlike the OE link there isn't a secondary point to put a wrench on. Anyone have any ideas for tightening this nylock?

I don't own an impact wrench.

Thanks in advance...

Weird, mine have a place to put a wrench, yours should too!

you sure it does not use a hex wrench in the end of the bolt? put the nut on then hold the bolt from turning using the hex/allen wrench

Crap! I didin't even think to check for that. Problem solved. Thanks; let my frustration lead to oversight.

Upper sway bar links had an hex key as pointed out. Kit is installed. Thanks again.
