I've got a campagnolo seat post bolt, and I recently took it off my steel frame, but with a bit of difficulty.
The problem was, when loosening it (with an allen key), the other side of the bolt kept turning, so it didn't actually loosen (the whole bolt turned as one).
I'm tentative about putting this back on, because I don't think I'll be able to tighten it correctly, and may damage my frame in the process.
Is there a tool I should be using to grip/hold the other side of the bolt whilst loosening?
Also, I have no washer. I've seen images online with washers. Will this be a problem at all? Should I buy a new washer, and if so, does it matter what material or size it is?
