nothing new here, but here's what I did.

Took the car to the closest shop and had them loosen the top nut on the strut. Carefully drove home. Before removing the tower I lossened the gland nut with a large pair of channel locks, I do mean large. Without removing the assembly, I levered down with a 2x4 on the control arm and swung the tower out and was able to disassemble with out the special tools.

After reassembly, back to the shop to tighten the top nut
