I am having a heck of a time trying to get the strut gland nut off. From the posts I have read, it looks like heat and a hammer/pipe wrench are the way to go. This seems like it would be very difficult to do on the car? I was hoping to avoid opening up the brake lines. If I do need to remove the strut, how should I do it? Undo the bolts holding the ball joint to the control arm and take it out with the ball joint? I was planning on replacing the ball joints anyways.

Thanks,
Kevin
