top strut nut needs to be loosened before removal

The top strut nut is on very tightly, and is impossible to get off when the strut is removed *unless* you loosen it a turn or two with the strut still mounted in the car. To do so, hold the strut shaft with a wrench, then turn the nut with another wrench about a turn or two.
Then, when you compress the spring and remove the strut, you can remove the top nut easily.
It is really not too bad a job.
