Pretty tricky. But you need to buy the manual. It is all there.

The thing to consider is that the shock is actually a strut. The strut assembly includes the spring. You have to remove the entire strut assy to replace the strut. To remove the strut assy, first the tire has to come out. Then, disconnect the brake line, unless there is a bracket that allows you to just slide it out. Then remove the three nuts on top of the strut. The tricky part here is that access to those three nuts are tight, so you have to disconnect some ducts, access panels and brackets under the glove compartment. Once the three nuts are out, remove the bolt attaching the strut to the bottom arm.

You need a heavy duty spring compressor to separate the strut from the assy.
