Let me just add that if you don't have an impact gun then the lower strut bolt will be a serious pain. I was able to break the torque on it by placing a 22mm wrench on the side closest to the front of the car. Get it on there good and make sure it stays aligned during the whole process. On the back side go at it with a 19mm socket, 12" extension, 1/2" ratchet, and a nice size pipe. While yanking on the bar make sure the 22mm stays wedged in and give it a tug. Good luck.
