if you don't have a impact wrench...good luck!
I had to take the strut w/ mount off the car, put a BIG pair of vise grips on the shaft, but it has to be TIGHT so I had to set it where it wouldn't lock and then jump on it to close.
Then, try the bolt, one of mine STILL wouldn't come off so I had to cut it and use a chisel to break it off, oh and new nuts are nearly impossible to find
