Need more information. Front struts? Rear struts?
Basics are that you compress the springs first then start in the engine compartment (for the front struts) at the strut mount assembly or pull back your trunk liner to expose the rear strut mounts. You're also going to need either a torq socket or an allen wrench (I've seen both) to release the center retaining stud and hold the strut shaft while you remove the outer nut.

You will need a set of spring compressors, and it's not too difficult. pull back the carpet in the trunk, and remove the rubber cups over the strut mounting bolts. The bolts will require an offset 11/16 or larger wrench and an Allen key to break loose. Once the top is loose, compress the spring, remove the two bolts at the wheel location, and the strut should drop out with the spring. This is a tedius job but not too difficult.

How do you replace the rear struts on a 2000 Toyota Corolla?
In the 8th Generation Corolla, 1998 to 2002, it's a pain. You must remove the back seats, because that is where the bolts that hold the struts are accessed. Then jack up the car and remove rear wheels. You possibly can access the bolts on the struts without taking the wheels off, but it's easier with them off) Please support the car properly for safety Do not use the tire change jack. Unbolt the bottom of the strut, and remove brake line (not from the brakes just unclip it from the strut, it's attached) Go back inside and unbolt the three bolts from the strut and pull up and out from inside the car. Install new struts same way opposite. (note: They are really more of a shock absorber than a MacPherson strut, you will not need a strut compressor for installation)
