If that doesn't work, can you lower the spring perch and move the spring down... then strap onto the shock shaft with a strap wrench or chain wrench (with padding)? Same process of impact + torque wrench.


I thought that may be the answer as well, but after I removed the tophat I realized that the silver that you see in that photo is just a metal sleeve that goes around the actual shaft, so you can grip that, but you're not actually gripping anything that's part of what the nut is threaded on to.

Your second idea may actually work though... I'm going to try that
