The 2 lower ones are splined in iirc - might take a few good whacks to loosen them.

Free tip of the day - don't take the nuts all the way off, spin them back far enough that there is room for the bolt to move but the threads on the end of the bolt are covered, beat on the nut - saves the threads on the bolt. Once you break it loose, take the nut off and your done

thanks guys
thats what i figured it was that and i got one side done so far
this is the 1st major thing im doing to my car by my self so its a learning process but its fairly simple and is all going well
the backs are done they were real easy now to the drivers front side which is broke so im not sure how its gonna turn out

ok well im done
but i have a feeling the junkyard i got the stock suspension from gave me 2 different struts bc the drivers side is a good 2 in higher then the passenger side but i got em for 150 and i couldnt be w/o a car for any longer looks like im gonna be ordering some TC struts as soon as i get some money together
