The link for the one in the list of useful threads doesn't seem to work any more.
 






You are basically dropping the entire strut assembly in the front. Once out, you will need a spring compressor tool to remove the coil spring from the strut assembly. There are 3 or 4 bolts on top of tower and 2 on the spindle.

The rear is a lot simpler and just involves unbolting the rear shocks I believe so that the control arm can be lowered enough so spring will fall out. It may require some slight compressing / prying to get out and back in.
