Yeah you are just going to have to do it the long way... removing the tire and what not. Just use Channel Locks or Pliers with Huge Jaws. That's what I did...

A big enough monky wrench work pretty good for the front ones. But for the back coil over there is not enough room so I used channle locks. Just make sure not to stip the teeth on the coil overs good luck

...look again on google, the wrenches are like $25, which is better than damaging nice coilovers.
