I assume you compressed the springs... do you have an impact gun? That's what I use to zip them off. If not, there should be a hole in the strut cylinder to put in an allen wrench to keep the cylinder from spinning. You'll have to do it by hand but it should work.

bro I'm sorri .. I suggest u take em to a pro .. I dnt want u to damage n e thing or hurt ur self
if u think u can handle it then no prob .. jus be careful & be safe .. it may look easy but it requires a lot of force to compress those springs
