If you do it correctly, the strut is not rotating at all, just the fine threaded internal piece is moving up or down inside the strut.

Can do it easily by hand without a strap wrench if you take the load off ... so another jack to compress the spring perch.

Rear, not the front.

Sorry my bad. Same logic on the front. Not sure why you are unbolting anything, no need to ... at least with the ARK's which I assumed by looking at pictures are pretty much adjusted the same as all of them.

With most of the load off, and both the top and bottom collar loosened, you can easily turn the fine threaded piece either direction by hand.

Maybe ARK is different.
