in that case mate id lift up the protective boot on the shock and put some tape around it so you dont damage the shaft and the put some mole grips through the spring and lock the shaft up where the tape is then you should be able to undo the top nut

If you've got vented discs, stick a bolt inbetween the gap in the caliper.
