Hey guys, I was trying to remove the shock cartridge from my front struts today, but, it's a b**** to take off the large nut that holds it in. Any ideas to help ease the nut removal. LEt me know, thanks.

From my experience, the center nut won't come off because the groove of the strut mount plate is worn. I used a big vice grip to so the strut stem would not move around.
