I'm assuming this shock is being replaced. Clamp some vise-grips on the shaft inside the wheel well and hit the top nut with an impact gun.

The hex is also to hold it while you spin the nut on or off, with the hex you can slip a box wrench on over the allen key. It's much easier to clamp it from the bottom in the wheel well. They don't want to come off easily with a wrench or socket, the impact gun makes short work of it tho.
