This is at Bill'* house. I am using his floor jack handle over a breaker bar to spin the bolts to start. Note the can of PB blaster nearby. Use it generously. Neither the 90 or the 93 had splined bolts but they were almost fused with rust. Once they were able to turn all the way around, I used the air chisel to pop 'em out.
Weapon or choice:

In FL without the salt this is not an issue... we only see this issues when the cars come from a salt state...LOL
Bandit, mark the relation of the strut to knuckle so that when you install the new struts you will have the alignment close to the proper setting so you do not rip the tires to shreads on the way to the alignment shop
