Whats the procedure for replacing a 2002 Buick Lesabre front strut.?
The front hub has to be removed , the bearings are pressed in .This should be done at a local Auto shop . you must remove the wheel , the tie rod and the strut , what i did was remove the whole strut assembly from the top and remove the bottom tie rod and I sent the whole thing into the shop to get the bearings pressed in , when it comes back simply reverse the procedure , be sure to check the tie rods before completing installation of strut
The front McPherson struts. The rears hardly ever need replacing. To change the strut you first jack up the car and put stands under it. Take the clip off holding the brake line to the strut. Move it aside. Then take the two bolts and nuts off the bottom of the strut. Then, take the 3 nuts off of the top of the strut from inside the engine bay. Life the strut out. Installation is the reverse of these steps. If you have this done you should have the front end aligned.

To replace the front struts on a 2005 Dodge Dakota with a 4.7-liter engine, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheels. Then, detach the brake line and any components connected to the strut assembly, including the sway bar link and any electrical connections. Use a strut spring compressor to safely compress the spring, then remove the top strut mount nuts and lower the strut from the vehicle. Install the new strut by reversing the removal process, ensuring all components are securely reattached and properly torqued.

If the Strut Bar is a GM Performance Parts Strut Bar then you have to purchase a set of end brackets. The same front strut bar can be mounted to the rear with a set of rear strut brackets. http://drcustomparts.com/HomePage.htm More info at w-body.com

jack up car, remove wheel, may need a pry bar, remove 2 bottom bolts at bottom of strut. go into trunk area & find top of strut mount and remove the 3 or 4 nuts securing the top. push down hub assembly & pry outward, pull strut down and out. installation is opposite of removal.
