losen the top nut through the strut top slightly first.. use spring compressors to stop yourself taking your head off... besides that its very easy, I did it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it was simple. oh yeah, jack the car up beforehand [Report message to a moderator]

Get a workshop manual before you start, it's worth its weight in gold if you've never done it before. [Report message to a moderator]
