You need a spring compressor, and an impact with a 23mm socket. compress the spring until the bottom part is loose. Then blast the nut off of the strut shaft with the impact.

the upper strut mount? You can replace those with the struts on the car, and the car on the ground. Just remove the plates, pry the strut shaft/mount up, grab the shaft with vise grips, and zip off the 24mm upper nut with an impact gun. Mount will come right out.
