bottom bolts should be VERY tight, torque spec is 180 ft lbs on those, I just put an open ended 7/8" wrench on the bolt head, and took my 2 foot breaker bar with a 1/2" drive 22mm (or 7/8" works) socket and soaked the nut in PB, then cranked the fucker loose!
The trick is to turn the bolt enough so that your wrench "braces" itself against the strut to counterhold, otherwise you need someone really strong to counterhold that bottom bolt!
Don't unscrew the weird bolt on the top middle until you get the assembly out, that is the strut mount, when the assembly is off the car you'll deal with that. Get the assembly out first, its just the 2 bolts on bottom and 3 up top
