1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel, remove bolts holding strut to knuckle arm. Detach knuckle arm from bottom of strut. Remove 3 nuts holding upper end of strut to body. DO NOT remove the piston rod nut. If you want to remove the springs from the struts, you need a spring compressor, you can rent one at your local autozone or checker autoparts.

Torque Specs

Piston Rod Nut - 44-58 Ft. Lbs.
Strut-to-body Nut - 29-40 Ft. Lbs.
Strut-to-Steering Knuckle nut - 84-98 Ft. Lbs.
