Larry,
 If I remember correctly I slipped  a socket over the lower nut, the shaft 
extended through the hole in the top of the socket.  I believe I turned the 
socket with pliers while holding the squared off end of the shaft with a 
small adjustable wrench.

  Also,  most of these shocks and struts can be loosened or tightened without 
special tools that hold anything if you have access to an impact wrench and 
can spin them on or off.  I found this out on a Volvo strut after trying for 
two hours.    Mark L.
