You need a drop neck spanner to get the nut off and another spanner to Stop it spinning

You use a spark plug socket and then the allen key goes in through it and you can put a spanner on the sparkplug socket and undo it its easier to crack it off when on car may need to put a bar on allen key as will have the long bit down and better to have an allen key without a ball bit on

Some shocks have an Allen key slot in the top of them, yours doesn't I'm afraid.
Iirc you need an 18mm swan neck spanner and an 8mm spanner
