Crack front lug nuts.

Jack up front of car and place on jackstands.

Remove front wheels.

Disconnect sway bar from control arms.

Jack up control arm to take load off strut.

Hit the strut top nut with a rattle gun and remove the nut. Replace with new nut on reassembly. In some instances you don't need the impact but it makes everything SO easy in this case.

Lower jack until strut clears mount.

Unbolt and remove mount.

Installation is (guess what!) the reverse of removal. Check all your torques.

Folks, wanna check this and see if I missed anything?
