Suspension Strut Socket Alternatives?

Strut Socket Alternatives?
Hey all, I apologize in advance if this has been discussed. I've done some searching and haven't found a straight answer.
I have a set of Megan Euro II coil overs for my R53 and this weekend looks like it'd be a perfect opportunity to install them as I'm generally very busy and have a little free time. A friend and I were planning on tackling the install in my garage, at least until I started seeing comments about needing a BMW strut socket tool. I have a feeling that I won't be able to get my hands on one in the next 36 hours, so I wanted to post up and see if there are workable/reasonable alternatives to having this tool.
I have both pneumatic and electric impact guns, but I believe this route is generally frowned upon.
Any input is much appreciated and again, sorry if this is a silly or needless question.

I should also note that this is for an R53...sorry about that. Realized after posting that I'm in the Gen 2 section. Thanks for the info though, I appreciate it!

LOL yeah sorry about that. Realized shortly after I posted. Thanks for the heads up on the pinch bolt too! I was going to put the car up tonight so I can start early tomorrow. It's going to be about 112 degrees out, so the earlier I can start the better.
