Went to Sears and got a nice 6 point socket set! And a craftsman stipped nut removal kit.

Nissan wants $450 to do the front strut replacement. I'm going to do this myself damn it!
Take one of the other bolts out and go to Tacoma Screw. I went there this morning with a similar problem (incorrect torque spec in Rav4 manual... grr) and the guy just gave me a replacement bolt at no charge.
