With the larger hex head, its very difficult to get a socket on the bolt.
With an allen head, and the right size washer, its a breeze.  Best to use a
substantial allen wrench like a T handle to get the proper torque.

Also, I rounded the washer where it bears against the shock to minimize
stress concentration on the aluminum shock body.
