Spring install question... do i need a special tool?
I was reading the link for the spring install.
http://evomoto.com/tech_info.php?tPa...1258e894701047
It states not to use an impact gun to remove the top nut on the strut mount. Do all you guys have that special tool that allows you to remove the nut while holding it with another wrench? Ive changed shocks before on other cars, but ive always used an impact gun to remove the nut. Some expert opinions would be greatly appreciated before i tackle this job.

while the spring and shock is still installed in the car you just loosen the top nut 1-2 turns. you fully remove it after you compress the springs. but i am no expert. i followed evomoto.com install guide when doing my springs and have no issues. my 2c.
