Not that bad of a job Jesus. Interior removal takes some thought if you don't have a service manual but is easy. Once that is out, the rest comes off quick with airtools. I remove the bolts that hold the strut to the hub first than the three interior bolts. Remember the orientation of the nuts on the lower bolts if you are using airtools as it affects how or if the impact wrench will fit (nuts on the front side fromw what I recall).

Drop the unit (strut and spring) out thendis-assemble them using spring compressors and an impact wrench on the top not. Spray the top nut with penetrating oil prior to dis-assembly. If the nut isn't spun off the strut rod easily with your impact-ie, rusted in place, you can have a LOT of fun trying to get it off.
