I didn't have any issues with it removing the upper strut nuts with my snap on ratchet. It make have been a little easier to do by removing the brace, but it would have cost me more time to take it off, than it would have to just leave it on and unscrew the nuts.

Generally, as a rule of thumb you don't ever want to use a 12 point socket on anything that isn't a 12 point head. You will round bolts off with the quickness.

Thanks!!
