The one I removed did not appear to have any flats. The nut above was not seized, just very difficult to get anything to hold it so that I could undo it from below. The new ones do have the six sided edge and I was able to lock the new upper nut (stainless?) whilst tightening from below.
I suppose, with hindsight, I could have put spring compressors one whilst I had the jack lifting the strut to release pressure on the bottom fixing to the roll bar, then lower the strut so that the spring could be lifted out of the way and a socket or ring spanner used.
