Need help removing stripped nut on strut bar

Hey guys!

Im about to install my springs and I realized that I have a stripped nut on the strut bar.

I saw another thread but the guy got it out because the bottom of his nut still had thread...mine is completely rounded.

I bought some bolt remover things from sears but they wont work because the stud from the strut sticks out too much for the my wrench to go into the bolt remover, basically ill end up stripping it worse.

any help is greatly appreciated

CLOSE THREAD!!! sorry guys!

Lol i figured it out. I feel stupid

the other end of the bolt extractor has a 6 point socket and fortunately the hole on the strut bar was big enough to fit a big 1 inch socket so i used it as an extension to overcome the length of the studs!

sorry again guys! i feel terrible for making a new thread!!!

/thread!
