And there's a possibility that there is a hook on the upper strut mount that catches on the lip of the strut tower top, so if you've got both nuts off the top mount and it still wont drop out the bottom, like it's caught on something, then you've got that hook holding you up.

You can push on the hook from inside the car...It is on the trunk side of things. You should be able to "wiggle" or move the strut once the bolts are off the spindle on the bottom. By your description, it sounds like it won't move at all?????Prior Pro owner RIP 1992/94 DX $1 Hybrid
