   I put the whole strut in a vice, then using a punch and a hammer undid it with them.
   
   Put the punch in one of the holes, and then hit it round if that males sense. Doesnt damage the 'nut' much. I just did the say to do them up, and been on for 1 year so far and still tight!
   
   Just a thought !
