The problem is disconnecting the bottom of the strut from the steering knuckle. You can do that two ways, with a special tool that compresses the spring and strut upwards ($125) or by loosening the engine cradle bolts and lowering one side of the cradle. But have a jack supporting the weight while you do that.
