Subject: [BMWCSRegistry] Front Strut removal

I am replacing my front struts.  Is there any special trick to loosening the
27 mm nut while holding the 11 mm extension of the strut?  When I removed
the strut on my 740i there was a hex insert into the strut so it was easier
to insert a hex key while putting a wrench on the nut.  The strut on my CSI
seems a bit trickier due to lack of space.  Also, any suggestions on where
to get strut bearings?  Bavarian  Auto has them for about $120 and CSI has
them for about $100.
