When I replaced my drop links last year on the Connie the top nut was a lump of rust so I had to use a cutting disc on the underside to remove. When fitting the new part , I fitted an open ended spanner to the new top nut and tightened the link by turning using the flats on the underside. I then packed the top nut area with copperslip to protect and make later removal easier as I did with my tourer a few years back.

I used a bike spanner one of the flat steel ones with various hex cut outs just about slips over the existing top nut to hold it while you turn the thread on the flats
