Was able to finally get one of the struts out, using the pipe trick mentioned above, Thank you very much...
I ended up using 2" PVC pipe cut to approx 8.5" long.
The pipe was ever so slightly bigger that the large washer
I then placed the large washer over the pipe so that the bowl part faced down. You can face this washer either way depending on how long your pipe is.
You may need either water pump pliers or a large pipe wrench to stop the washer/strut from turning [but this may be because I already hacked the threads on top of the strut, if you have perfect threads you may not have the turning issue]
Please be aware that depending on the amount of force required to hold the washer/strut from turning, you may trash the key way tongue of the large washer [as I did].
I still have the other strut to do, so I'll post pictures so that you can see what I did.
