Clamp the nut in a bench vise, and then rotate the strut. A vise is
like a large adjusting spanner... one vise fits every size of nut Tongue

I bought SW20 AGX dampers for my AE86 and found out that the nuts that came with them used a different thread and didn't fit on top of the AE86 struts.

Maybe the AE92 ones come with nuts that have the correct thread for AE86?

For the SW20 AGX inserts I used the OEM strut top nuts and had some
material removed from the inside in a lathe. Otherwise, you could try and
get some nuts from your Koni dealer.
