I take off two bolts that hold the strut first, then unbolt/unclick the brake line, then take off the 3 bolts inside the engine bay or the hatch, then slip the whole assembly out, then if you have lowering spring you don't even have to compress anything, if you do compress the springs a little bit, then unbolt the big bolt inside the strut, replace the strut and do everything in reverse.
PM me if you got anymore questions. The two bolts that hold the strut will be very difficult to take off if it's the 1st time you are doing this.
