tire off, remove the 2 17mm bolts with nuts, then under the hood there is 3 bolts on each side in the strut area. you need some type of compression device. if you are not aware of this type of tool, i would ask to be shown by a tech. this type of compression power released is capible of almost or possible killing you if you get struck by a spring. the strut and spring come out as one peice until the top 17mm bolt combining them both is unhinged You wouldn't be able to without special equipment to remove the springs. Go to http://protege5.ugly.net/02-13.PDF That's the manual with instructions for removing struts. I believe the P5 shares many parts with Protege. At least you'll get a rough idea what you're dealing with.
