i used a pivoting ratchet to get the top nut. also jacked up the motor from oil pan a bit because my headers made it extra difficult.
the loli pop cab was a bitch. finally took it to a machine shop.
edit: also did mine from the bottom. top? how the hell do you get it when you have long tube headers in the way?

22mm ratcheting wrench made this job stupid easy, but a plain 22mm crescent will work as well.

if you get really stuck, that entire sub-frame comes down in 4 bolts. then its stupid easy and much quicker to get that locking nut off. make sure you take the couple off of the steering rack also, and zip tie it up out of the way if you drop the sub frame.
FYI, all of these three's are the same.. works the same up to e46's...
