    What PSI to take off top strut nuts?

    I searched, and found a few threads talking about people using impacts to get these nuts off. I have a 115psi compressor, but these nuts wont budge. Also, the nuts on the new struts, they wont go on very far, what is up with these things? What PSI do I need to get these nuts off and on?
