If you need instructions here ya go: ( If you already past steps 1-5, proceed on to 6-10)

1. First and foremost, loosen up the lug nuts on all wheels. Then jack/lift the front car and insert jackstands under the passenger/driver sides (there should be jacking points)

2. Repeat step 1 for the rear as well. Once the car is above ground level, always double check that the car is secured before further proceedures. Do front shocks first then work you way to the rear. Release lugs and wheel.

3. Take anything holding on the strut/shock (i.e.: the brake line). Take the all bolts holding the fork to the shock and controll arm off. Study the diagram:
