Well that was easy...
Followed these steps and got it done in minutes
  1. Set the steering wheel straight
  2. Remove the plastic strut covers using a torx driver (I forget if it was t-15, t-20, or t-25)
  3. Mark the current front strut/bolt locations with a marker for stock reference points that I will return to later
  4. Loosen front strut bolts using a 1/2" socket (I loosened each 6 turns)
  5. Gently pop off plastic discs covering the strut tower opening using a small flathead
  6. Line the strut tower opening with a doubled-up towel for protection
  7. Use a large screwdriver or small prybar to push the strut inward (I used a 4' prybar - They call me Commander Overtorque)
  8. Torque strut bolts to 27ftlbs
  9. Replace the plastic strut cover discs

AX tomorrow.
