16. Finally, remove the nut that holds the tension strut to the knuckle by putting a wrench on the flat section of the tension strut and a ratchet on the nut. Otherwise the tension strut will twist in the rubber and the nut will never break free. Now you should be looking something like this...

I know I'm not answering your question but if you did not take off the knuckle/spindle assembly already you can just bolt on the backing plate and it will work just fine. No need to remove the control arm bolt or stock knuckle/spindle assembly at all.
