When I put on my Bilstein coilovers, I had to take the old struts apart.
I took the strut off and laid it on the ground. Put my foot on top of the spring and took the big nut off with an electric impact driver. When the spring 'popped', everything came apart about three inches. There just aren't tons of tension when everything is at full extension.
