You need th get a spring compression tool...harbor freight has one for $7 Sears has one for about $30. Jack up the front end. Pull the tire. Remove the two bottom bolts tha hold the strut to the steering knuckle. Get ready to support the axel with a couple of 4 x 4's pieces of wood. Remove the 3 top bolts that hold the strut in place at the top. Remove strut assembly and place on ground. Attached spring compressor and remove spring. Replace old strut. Put the compressed spring onto new strut. Check bearings ontop of strut assembly. Reinstall in reverse order.
