The socket loosens the top nut while the Allen wrench passes through the socket and keeps the shaft from turning.

Jeebus did a write up on replacing springs without unbolting top hats from the car. Here's the info.
Thank you gramicci101 so much for the additional information. I am now 120% confident to do the job the correct way. My 2015 BRZ currently has only 21k miles on it and I hope the Eibach Sportline will not blow the strut like it had to many other 86 owners (considered the fact that I will not spin the shaft)
