Remove the struts, by undoing the three bolts up the top. Take brake caliper off disc brake. Then lever down the antiroll bar to allow the strut to be lifted off the steering arm. Use spring compression tool to reduce the soil of the spring.From there remove the hat off the top of the strut. Then remove the cap off the top of the shocks, if oil filled you have to drain the oil and then use degreaser to clean out the strut holder. Insert new shock and then do the reverse process to put everything back together. This is just a short explanation, best to find someone that has experince I got my uncle to do it and watched helped and learnt. You'll have to get a wheel alignment done afterwards too, and if you can't find someone that knows how to do it just pay a mechanic as you'll end up doing damage that will cost more if you try and do it yourself.
