The back of the cylinder were its reinforced runs a long nut like the one on the front right side

Sorry, I was talking about the front left nut (as you sit on the quad).  I just ended up grinding down a 17mm wrench so I could have a little more room to torque it down.

Tonight I installed my freshly rebuilt Custom Axis rear shock.  Since my fuel tank frame nuts were stripped, from stainless steel bolts, I modified the tank mount to slide into posts that I have bolted to the frame.

Also since my tie rod ball joints are worn, I ordered a set of AMR ProX Tie rods and ends.
