Subject: MORE front shock replacement questions

Ok, got the old shocks out of the front. Now the new Bilsteins have a little
brass spacer and a nut already on them. I know the nut goes on last, where
does the little brass spacer go? Does it go underneath the big black sleeve
or on top underneath the nut. I put the one on without it since the old one
didn't have it and there is way too much freeplay. So would the order go
from bottom up

1.brass spacer
2.black boot
3.longer metal spacer
4.rubber piece
5.washer
6.nut

Please let me know if this is correct. And how tight should the nut on top
be?
Nathan
