850 Strut Reassembly Question

I am having a hard time getting this cross-shaped nut on the strut real tight, what is the best way to tighten it. My fear is that it will loosen back up while driving, I have used the pipe wrench and channelocks, can you get it to the tightness it needs to be at with these tools because it seems like their should be alot of torque. Also what is the best way to tighten the center top nut. Thanks

The cross not does not need a lot of torque so you are fine there. Center top nut I just use a socket on, once the assembly is back in the vehicle.
