Need some QUICK help - Strut top nut size?

Bought some new springs for my 150. Removed the strut assembly yesterday, but could not remove the top strut nut (the nut that holds the assembly together, 15mm socket size). If you are wondering, yes, the sping was compressed first...

I got the nut almost all the way off. But I can not remove it the rest of the way. AND the little nub that you hold so the piston doesn't spin is begining to round-out.. So I am going to Dremil the nut off...

NEED TO KNOW THE REPLACEMENT NUT SIZE FOR THE STRUT?

Strut is reinstalled back into the truck (had to remove truck from work location yesterday), but need to finish up project today...

Any help?

Thanks,
AL
