Two things about the big nut:

-The center of the strut has to be isolated with an allen that I believe is a 10mm or an 8mm (sorry I don't recall which)

-Since the big nut is down into the metal cap and its sides prevent one easily getting an open ended wrench on it, the best thing to use is a closed-end 17mm.

If your upper mounts are torn, the replacement is worth the effort.
