you are some what screwed. Its going to be a B*tch to get it. I'm sure there have been plenty of us who has gone through this ordeal. I say do the bottom allen key. Then worry about the top allen key hole after you take the strut out. Hold on are you using a box end wrench while turning the allen key?
You can always pry on it so it will catch and screw the bolt. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
