Im doing this install right now. I have the front struts off and spring compressors on one. The top hat bolt is just spinning and not coming off? I can feel inside the shock the whole bar spinning when im trying to loosen it with a ratchet. I have no air tools and ive gotten through everything else fine without them. Any suggestions?

*Edit: j/k. I figured it out lol. And for anyone doing this, if you dont have air tools for the spring compressors, its well worth $50-$80 to take the front shocks to a shop and have them switch the springs out for you.
