Lowering VT please help

[Ozzie]

Lowering my vt. The drivers side strut tower nut (top) wil not come loose.
What do you guys recommend using to undo it?

Is it 22mm or 23mm?
and when I try to undo it without holding the shaft, it turns the whole lot

I tried holding the top... 10mm was too small 11mm was a bit big but held it.

so its definetly 24mm for the nut? the shifter I was using that was starting to strip it read 23mm? I dont trust shifters though..

Air rattle gun at this stage isnt an option as everything else is off except the strut nut lol and I dont have a compressor on hand.

Thanks

lol The reason I ask is that I moved to vic with the missus and all my tools are in Brisbane at my old mans.
Biggest spanner I have here is a 15mm hahaha
Needed to know the exact size so I can walk up to the hardware tomorrow and pick one up

get a 10mm socket bashed onto the strut, then get a shifter on the nut :P

lol its all good now.. I was walking back from the hardware store (which had no 24mm spanners anyway) and stumbled accross RACV working on a broken down ford. I asked him if he could undo it so he drove me home and did it on the spot for free haha
Im not even with RACV

I was using a shifter on the other side (which undid) but it was stripping the side I couldnt turn.
