EVERYONE runs into this problem. if you look about 10 post down you will see my same questin. for me i was simply putting coilovres on. so: while i was able to loosen them about 85% of the way i couldnt get it any further due to stripping. i ended up just putting on the coilovers with the whole strut assembly still attached to the car thru that linkage. due to you trying to replcace the whole strut you are probaly going to hacksaw them and buy new ones. toyota quoted me $50 per side. I am going to get new one when i replace my shock/struts.
