You will also need a wrench to remove the top strut nut. It is an odd size - 15/16 or something if I remember. While you are there it would be worthwhile to replace the top strut bearings and support plates since you will probably remove the old ones anyhow. Also check the condition of the ball joints and bushings. If you are going to take everything apart you might as well do the whole job. Why put it back together with worn parts?
