Front or back?
Not sure of the back
But the front is pretty simple.
-Take off wheel
-unbolt the two bolts (BIG usually towards the end of the strut) that connect the knuckle to the strut
-unbolt the top bolts inside the hood and the strut should come out with the spring attatched.
-Compress the spring and pull the old strut and replace with new one.
Do everything backwards to reinstall. Its easier if you have an impact gun with you since the knuckle bolts could be seized and will be a pain.
You will need to realign the car after
Hope this helps
