Remove two lower strut bolts holding bottom of strut to the spindle. Remove the bolt holding the brake flex hose to the strut

Some model years have the outer tie rod attached to the housing, separate the tie rod from the strut if you have to (can't remember on a 1992)

Remove the 3 top nuts in the engine compartment ond the whole assembly will come out

Put the strut in a spring compressor and compress the spring

Undo the top center nut in the center of the upper mount/bearing plate

The strut will fall out of the spring.

Extend the piston fulley on the new strut and slide it back into the mount/ spring assembly

Tighten the top nut in the center of the upper mount (new one comes with new strut)

Make sure the spring is in the correct position when you put it back together and reverse the instructions to install.

You will need an alignment!!

Check the upper mount bearing before reusing

How do you remove and replace the front struts on a 1992 Pontiac Sunbird LE and what tools do you need?

You can't. The springs around them need to be removed with a spring compressor and put back on the new struts with the spring compressor if the springs are still good. These springs are under very high tension and if you try to do it yourself you'll get a strut right through your skull! The rear shocks are easy, but for struts, take it to a professional, then it will be aligned properly too.
