Ideally you want to use a pass through ratchet and another wrench or ratchet

However, if you have it in the spring compressor and hit it quick with an impact gun it will suffice

I don't recall the sizes ATM, but a couple of crescent wrenches should work. I use the closed (round) end on the nut, and then a smaller or adjustable wrench on the top of the shaft to keep it from spinning as you tighten.

Fastest: Impact and long socket.

Medium Speed: Closed end ratcheting wrench with another fixed closed end on shaft end.

Slowest: Two fixed closed end wrenches.
