You are supposed to use the 5mm wrench as a strip of metal, just put it in the groove. 17nm is not very much, it should be easy to hold it.
There are a lot of warnings about not turning the rad, I would avoid it.

I know about the not turning it. That's why I got so ticked, wondering if I destroyed my new shocks. But so far so good, no leaks or anything. What I did instead of the 5 mm was the ugly way: I held the top unthreaded part with my vicegrip pliers. Ugly, but it worked. I torqued it with a 17 mm crowsfoot at a right angle on the tourque wrench.
