I am lowering my car and took off my struts yesterday and the nut on the strut is rusted really bad and i can't get them off. i want to reuse my old struts because the car only has a few miles on it.

any suggestions would be great

I would try heating it and some penetrating oil then use a good impact. that should do it.

u should. i dont see any reason y not. just be careful not to heat it too much.
