Help with front struts

Hey guys so I'm having difficulties with removing the front strut from the coil. I have removed them and as I try to take out the 19mm bolt, the strut keeps spinning. I'm at a loss, I've tried vice gripping the strut but its no use. Any ideas?

 

I'm assuming you have spring compressors on the coils?
Where is this 19 mm, on the top hat? I thought all 3 nuts and the center nut were like 8mm?

 

There should be a lock nut of some sort on the center bolt shaft. You can get another wrench on it and hold it still while undoing the center top nut. Hard for me to understand what your trying to do.
Separating the shock/strut from the coil spring assembly?


Edit: sorry, I think I gave you some bad info. At the top of the center bolt, isn't there a flat spot to get a small wrench on to keep it from turning?

 

Going to need to impact it off it will just keep spinning.

 

Is there a Allen hole in the top of the piston rod?

 

Ya I'm trying to get the last center 8mm lock but off to release the strut from the spring, my bad is wasn't 19mm. I shoulda just gotten coil over springs holy Jesus.
