Very simple
The Suspension legs will not fall out when you remove the nuts as the weight of the car holds them in place.

This can be done on the road side. No need to jack the car.
Take the nuts off the top mount (3 on each strut top)
Place strut brace over studs and replace nuts and torque to the correct setting
Do not tighten the nuts with a 3ft bar!!!!! They will snap!!
Do not move the car while the top mounts are loose!
