Coupe or sedan.

You basically loosen the nuts that hold the strut to the strut tower, just enough for it to wiggle. Then take the one bolt out at the bottom of the strut, I can't think of what it's called but it doesnt really matter. The axle will drop so slowly let that down, then hold onto the strut and have someone take the nuts on the too of the strut tower all the way off and you can pull the strut out. The rear are incredibly easy especially if you're a coupe.

OK struts have dropped but they aren't just "falling out" easily....the bottom of the strut is stuck between the stabilizers

first take the spring compressors off. then get your friend to push down on the brake while you pull it out. if you have no friends, then just disconnect the sway bar
