My best advice would be to soak & keep soaking the collars in penatrating oil for 24hrs or more. WD40 is about the worst product you could use. Use a pipe wrench to hold the collars while using the spanner wrench to adjust collar. If the threads are very rusted you may want to remove each strut assy. & clean threads with a wire brush & then soak for 24hrs or more. Once the collar is free coat the entire threaded surface with anti seize, run collar up & down, and keep on applying as needed. Depending on the climate(salt) it's a good idea to move the collars monthly or every 7500 miles with tire rotation & brake service.
Don't forget when the ride height is changed an alignment is needed.
