Gotcha.

You are looking for a socket that has an opening through which you can hold the top of the strut. They are available. Otherwise you can use a "through socket"

I think this is what you are looking for. I can't remember the size - 17mm?

But as has been mentioned. If you just hit that nut with an impact gun it'll come right off without spinning the shaft.

Just be careful w the springs. Lower the height adjustment on the strut to as low as possible to relieve as much spring tension as you can.

I think they can be called oxygen sensor sockets. There are variations in type. I just checked my old rear suspension and the top nut is 17mm.

I have pass-thru sockets and ratcheting wrenches that work for the nuts. The tool I posted earlier was what I was looking for to hold the stud on the shock, so the shock doesn't turn when loosening the nut.

Sorry, I got carried away. The sockets I showed are good for front suspension, holding the top nut with an allen key fitting of some kind.
