Hi Stan.
I wouldn't sat its the official way of doing it but it certainly helps as 99.9% of the time that top nut is solid on the thread with years of rust, unless drop links that only last 12months or less are fitted then you stand a chance.
The original have some good flats that you can get a spanner onto, so if you have remove the bottom fixing first you can wind out with the flat.

This same to tightening up

Always add some extra grease.

Look for drop links that have weld all round the joint
5
Decent flats on them

I have tried all sorts of drop links and most will last if extra grease is added
