the 19mm bolt with lube on it on top the assembly when spun is just moving the entire assembly down to the springs. its spinning all the plates instead of loosening the nut. we're using a craftman decent sized socketwrench an impact wrench is on the way but im thinking it'll just spin all the plates faster... any ideas.
:pray:

you need to compress the spring to get the tension off the top mount. also i think the top nut has an allen head hole in the top so you can hold that while you turn the nut. hope this helps good luck.

use a floor jack or strong friend to lift up the wheel assembly. or lower the car a little while supporting the wheel assembly somehow. like on bricks or strong friend haha.
