When I did mine, what works well on that top nut is a flex head gear wrench. The kind that articulates like your wrist.
I remember reading someone mentioning that before and I tried it as I have the same micro-clicking pivoting head box wrenches. I found a standard 3/8" shallow socket the better choice.....since I was able to get my hand back there after removing those two sharp screw-ends I mentioned earlier. The socket held the old top nut in-place while turning the old shock. with the lack of rust, it worked well. Installation was the same, but using a large (ground thin) open-ended wrench on the top of the Bilstein. It seemed to be the right way to do it at the time.
