Instructions to replace rear struts and springs

I have a 2000 Maxima that is showing signs of needing new struts on the rear. The rear is weak with just me in the car and when you bounce on the rear it doesn't come up and stop the first time. The springs might be alright, but I'm thinking about getting the complete setup that has both struts and springs. Can someone tell me where to look for instructions with photos that will show me how to uninstall and install these on my car? Thanks.

It's easy and straight forward job. If you have tools and basic mechanical knowledge.
