They look simple.
Once you get the wheel off, you will see a huge nut with a split pin through it in the middle of the hub.
You need a nice socket that will fit, and either a big airgun, or a big prybar, and be glad its not a Honda

Then you need to seperate the lower control arm from the hub, which I believe will require a ball joint splitter.
After that you can pull the complete hub, brake and strut assembly away from the car, and off the end of the axle.
