Need help with strut replacement
I seem to have run into a bit of a problem while replacing my struts. I have the spring compressed and I tried to loosten the top nut that holds the mount and bushings to the spring. When I went to turn the nut, the top portion that is used to keep the strut from turning broke off in the cresent wrench that I was using. I need to somehow keep the strut from turning so I can remove the top nut. Any help would be much appreciated.

I loosen the nut while still mounted in the car. Makes it a little easier later on.
