I just tackled this over the weekend.. and was about ready to give up and put the strut back in and have a mechanic do it...
In one last effort, I took a trip to Harbor Freight, looking for a recessed 21mm wrench or something clever. .and the guy mentioned an electronic impact wrench.. It cost $49, and he said just bring it back when your done.. Worked like a charm.. just spun it forward and then when rotating at full speed i hit the reverse toggle on the trigger, and it creates enough force in the opposite direction to jar it loose.. I was suspicious the electronic impact would have enough torque. .but worked like a charm.. I'll be keeping it for future projects...
