yea, that one was a pain, if you cant get it off, you could try disconnecting wehre the control arm connects to teh body of the car. next to the three bolts under the hood. There two larger bolts on each side. Try taking those out, and see if you can slide the strut out, by just taking out the upper fork nut. I had to do this for my drivers side, but i got the swaybar link off the fork, so im not sure if it will work.
