·Double check with a serive manual for exact specs and procedures, but here is a generic guide:
1) Raise the car and support on jack stands.
2) Remove wheel.
3) Remove brake components and hang caliper out of the way.
4) Make sure to mark the connecting bolts on the bolt head and the steering knuckle to ensure proper realignment upon reinstallation.
5) Unbolt Strut assembly from steering knuckle.
6) Unbolt Strut from strut mount.
7) Compress Spring using proper tool.
8) Remove locking nuts from strut rod.
9) Remove spring.
Caution: When uncompressing spring do so slowly and evenly.
Installation is opposite of removal.
Rear springs should be similar.
