Is there a way...back struts?

[DopeCelicaGT]

Ok is there a way to tighten the top nut on the back struts without removing them??? I need to hold the shaft and be able to tighten that nut on the back of my TRD coilovers. Obviously this will most likely be a two person job, but is this even possible without removing the struts? The reason I ask is because if my memory serves me correctly these coilovers do not droop enough when the car is off the ground to get to the shaft through the spring. I don't think there is a way to do it without removing them but I wanted to check with you guys first to see if you might know for sure or possibly know of a way othe rthan removing them. Thanks.

Use a powered socket wrench like this...

...on the nut while an assistant clamps the strut shaft with something. Be sure to use something soft between the clamping implement and the shaft or you will ruin it. Do the final torque with a torque wrench.
