I have an issue that’s driving me nuts. I want to remove the front struts from my 2004 sportsman. Shocks are still attached to the bike. Lower A arm is off, brakes, etc. All I need to do is take the nut off the top that holds the strut onto the bike.

However when I try to take of the top nut the center of the strut spins around. Vice grips will not help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Rick
