I would think as long as you can keep it from spinning, get the front nut off and the bracket with the three 14 mm the strut should come right out. Am I thinking correctly?
Yes. Get the 19mm off first and the other 3 will be easy. I don't remember the size of the bolt head on the other side, could have been 19mm. I used an impact wrench to get this one and had no trouble with it spinning. If doing it by hand you might need to lock the other side in place with a box wrench or something. Other than that you just need to remove the 3 nuts at the top of the shock tower, which if you remove the strut tower brace will be very easy to get to.
