Ok so i went to replace my springs and what not today and behold the place where the allin bit fits on the top of the strut under the hood is rounded off. Is there any other ways to get the bolt loose or would i have to break down and have a shop do it

 

Hopefully you are using a spring compressor.

I would remove the assembly and try to get a pair of vice grips on the rod that comes out of the shock housing. An air impact wrench might spin the nut off without having to secure with an allen wrench.

 

A spring compressor is the only way to do it that i know of. Bought me one years ago lol. But yeah im new to the area where im at now and i dont have any air tools and the shops around here are a lil on the stuck up side so they wouldent break it loose for me But im gonna wait tell all the bills are paid and buy me an air compressior sence i do need one sence im not in the shop anymore lol
