Which one are you talking about? One of the 3 nuts that hold the spring/strut assembly on the strut tower? Or another part of the fronts..If its the one nut on the strut itslef, you have to hold that with vice grips, and then use a box end wrench. Or the nut/bolt that is on the damper fork that holds in the strut? Use lots of wd-40, and maybe put the impact wrench on it, and go from loosening to tightening, in small steps, just back and forth. That usually works..

Try a large breaker bar, if needed use a long pipe on the handle for leverage.
