use a ratchet, just hold the strut still as sometimes it has a tendency to want to twist and so you can just turn the bolt forever trying to get it off with it goin nowhere

impact wrench isn't necessary

Not necessary, just easier. If you don't have one though, try gettign ahold of a pass-through ratchet (I have a set if you want me to lend you a hand sometime) or just hold onto the strut shaft while you are un-torquing it.
