You have to jack up the car and let the strut drop to get the bolts off.

uh huh... you have to jack the car a little so the strut drops enough so the nut can come off.

Think of it this way... the nut will stay in place and as you loosen it, the strut will begin to drop from the bottom. (Hope that helps.)

If all else fails, I brought my old nuts to Orchard and they were able to determine and give me replacement nuts. A good idea if you play with your nuts and end up rounding the edges, you might want to keep your other nuts ("back-up nuts" per say) handy.

As a side note, the nuts I had originally and my new nuts are different colors and don't exactly match.
