I've tried everything to get that nut that holds the strut in place loose. It will not move, I dont know how you guys got it loose with a pipe wrench/??
Something I might be doing wrong?

If there is some special tool does anyone know?

strut bearing? I recall from past posts that there is a strut bearing but when removal of old struts no bearing? I bought them and need to know where they are suppose to be placed..

and does it matter how tight you get the nut that holds the strut in place?

and of cause trusty break bar and 3' pipe.
