Jack the whole front of the car up (Both front wheels!)
Remove the wheels
Remove the brake line clip & ABS wire (if so equipped)
Remove the two lower bolts
Loosen, but do not remove the center nut from the strut.
Remove the 3 nuts that hold the upper mount.
Remove the strut.
Place spring compressor evenly onto spring and compress until the spring pressure is releaved from the strut.
Now remove the center nut completely.

Reassemble in the reverse order.

or......

put your left foot in
and then you take your left foot out
you put your left foot in
and you get it done at a shop if you don't want to tackle the project.
