Start removing like you would normal do to remove the strut. Place another jack on the rotor for support and loosen control arm. Bolt head is 15mm and nut is 18mm. Loosen the 18mm a full turn.
Loosen/remove top nut. Lower the rotor. The spring and top bearing etc will drop along with the strut. Remove the spring/bearing etc. Push the strut shaft down and tilt the strut out and remove.
Replace the new strut. Compress and re'install. Place the spring back in and align the top bearing and start raising the rotor. If you use your original top spacer, it's already grooved for the springs. Keep raising the rotor so the strut shaft lines back into the camber plate. Tighten top nut.
Pain in the arse if stock springs due to tension....if you have shorter aftermarket springs..basically no tension and easy
