You'll need to undo the bottom bolts aswell ideally.
I have had them out before without undoing the bottom bolts but its a right slag to do, undo the bolts it will be quicker in the long run

If you don't have an air impact gun (whatever it's in english...), Try pulling strongly the bottom of the shock to the side while undoing the nut at the top. This way the shaft won't rotate.

Your meant to use a 6mm allen key in the centre of the shaft, but ive never had one whenever ive needed one, i find putting the ratchet on the nut and just sharply turning it will free the nut as there is a lot of resistance between the shaft and top mounting bush
