Hey lads, tried to swap out my suspension today only to find I can't get the rear shock top lock-nut loose, tried the two spanner technique but the metal was just too soft and curled when twisting..

Any other way to get these off? I'll add up a picture to show exactly what I mean later.

~Cheers, Brandon.

what i do sometimes is get some mole grips and clamp the top of the strut from inside the wheel arch, and then turn the nut on the top

Cheers mate, I've also just been told to heat up the top nut to loosen it so will give that a go first as I don't own any mole grips, but if that fails I guess I'll have to invest in some haha
