DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND YES YOU CAN TAKE YOUR HEAD OFF IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE GET KILLED TRYING THIS. TAKE IT FORM SOMEONE WHO HAS 28 YEARS EXPERIENCE.

Whoever posted that last answer, RELAX! I've been a mechanic for over 35 years and I have never seen anybody "get their head blown off." Considering you are only taking the strut out long enough to put the mount in, maybe a total moron who couldn't even tell you where the dip stick is on his car would get killed by trying to change a strut mount. My 19 year old son can do it, so I would suggest against trying to scare people out of it. Anything mechanical can be dangerous. If you don't know that or know the risks, then you shouldn't own a car.

Although there is a snap ring retaining the bearing, you will need to take the strut to a mechanic and have the bearing pressed out. If you take out the three bolts on the top of the strut tower, and disconnect the ball joint at the bottom, you won't have to worry about throwing the alignment out.
