I doubt you'll be able to get enough torque on the strut nuts with them still attached. Plus, messing around with a spring compressor in tight situations equals danger in my book. Take the whole strut assemply and lower control arms out as a complete unit and wrench on them from a bench. You'll be happier in the long run.
