I'm looking at new struts for my '83 wagon. I've seen several posts about the use of a 15/16" Harbor Freight offset wrench to aid in the removal of the strut top nut. Well, they seem to have discontinued the set that contains this wrench, unless I'm mistaken. Any thoughts as to a viable, yet economical alternative?

    to remove the 15/16 nut i use a 1/2" drive quality impact gun and 15/16 deep socket.
    it spins the nut off in seconds

    i have also used it to torque down the new struts with NO ill effects to the strut after months of driving on it.

    ergo, no seal leaks etc etc
