in the instructions for installing the trd springs it shows to use a 6mm allen wrench and hold the center rod in place and loosen the nut with a deep offset wrench - but not to remove the nut.

My question is if this was necessary or can be done after taking the strut out of the car.

Seems to me after the strut is taken out it would be "easier" to work on this nut.

It looks to be torqued down to 25 ft lbs so should be too difficult to move when out of the car.
