Best bet is to get the Chilton or Haynes manual. It is very good in this area.

Find someone who has done it....

Justin:
There have been several write ups. It is not real difficult if you are doing it with someone who has done these before. Make sure that you have the proper tools: spring compressor(very important), assorted sockets with extensions, Chilton's or Haynes Manual.

I also would recommend that you diagram how you take your springs off of your struts so that when you reassemble the strut all of the components are replaced properly.
The other thing I ran into was making sure that I seat the springs properly when putting the new ones on. The springs are supposed to mount a certain way.

If you have never replaced your dust boots before you may want to do so.

I used aftermarket dust boots and I just cut off the frayed baffle and zip tied the aaftermarket boots to the top piece. The aftermarket boots were much longer and I believe will provide better protection.

I hope this helps. there have been many write ups here but, having someone with you who has done this will save you a ****load of time.

Good luck:
DL

I have a writeup, but it's not online anymore. If you really want it, I can prolly zip up everything for you and e-mail it. But it will be a big file.
