Is there anyway you can remove this nut without using a airgun?

Because i'm REALLY wanting to lower my C and everytime i've lowered my cars and my mates cars i've had to take the suspension leg off and take it down my mates garage to get the nut whipped off because you can't grip the piston enough to stop it turning

Thanks for any help

Ive always used a swan neck ring spanner to twist the bolt and an allen key to stop the shock from spinning.
