Re: strut towers
You can always use vice-grips on the strut shaft itself. Use a shop towel, or something, to protect the shaft itself...if you wanna save the strut.
Otherwise, don't worry about the strut....if you are replacing it anyways, go for it.
Or, you might need an air tool for the nut. Generally, it can take the nut off faster, than the strut shaft cam spin.
