Compress the spring first.then remove the nut and top mount, then unscrew the collar holding the strut in.

Do I need to compress the spring before I loosen the top nut?  I have 
everything loose from the strut except the top and bottom.  The bottom 
(ball joint) is no problem, however most struts I have seen are held to the 
cas with 3 nuts, and a seperate nuts hold the assembly together.  Audi does 
both with one nut.  So how do I get the strut out without killing myself?
