Do you mean the strut mount bolts?

Top Hat = strut mount.

How is it stuck? If all else fails just get a new one theyre cheap.

To get the nut off, get a vice grips adn clamp the piston down, whammy the nut WILL come off. TO assist spray nut down with pbblaster.

Strut piston is then destroyed and you need new strut

Not knowing what a top hat is..are you serious? Am I missing sarcasm...?

OP:
Are you referring to the studs on the top hat itself? The ones that secure it to the strut tower?
Or are you referring to the nuts that secure the shock to the hat?
Illustration # 15 or 14?
