dude its simple theres like 3 major bolts you take the tire off, take the 2 bolts from the caliper off to release the rotor, pull caliper off, undo abs sensor, zip ties are key!!! unscrew endlink it has a lil like clip thing that comes out first......now you need a spring compressor, there is a bolt that holds the strut in the strut knuckle but first you have to knock the ball joint out you loosen the bolt that holds da ball joint its the endpiece on your bottom control arm....youll need a mallet a 6lb mallet the heavier the better cuz it takes balls to knock that damn strut out!!! man if you dont really know what your doing i wouldnt **** with it..you have to make sure everything goes back on in line thats your suspension if none of what i said makes sense take it to a shop
