Disconnect the sway bar, then while pushing the rotor or another part of the attached suspension, pull the strut down and towards you. I found that it is easier with another person pushing the rotor down with there foot, while I pull the strut out. Also, make sure that you take the bolt on the bottom out and not just loosen it.

 

The sway bar bolt can be a pain, to get the proper angle, you may need to use a jack to relieve the pressure.

 

there are some snaps and ties that ties the strut to some of the wiring in the engine bay. un-snap them, and pull the strut out. Good luck.

There should only be one bolt to remove for the rear springs. The one closest to you. I had to remove both of my bolts on the pass. side because of my Borla exhaust being in the way. The rears are very easy.

 

to remove the front struts, i always undo the bolt that connects the upper a arm to the knuckle. also, if you only have one side up at a time, it is almost impossible to get the swaybar bolts out, because it is twisting. make sure you have the whole front of the car up.
