If you don't have an impact wrench, use a deepset box wrench for the nut and an adjustable wrench to hold the strut shaft on the the flat spot.

Good luck!

Double nut? Are you talking about an adjustable ride height coilover and the lock rings or are you asking about the top nut at the end of the damper shaft?
