On a classic, you need to remove the rear seats. You can then access the 3 retaining bolts holding each strut. Another thing to watch for is the brake line goes through a bracket on the strut. You need to remove the clip from the bracket and clamp the brake line (I used a set of mole grips with a bit of cardboard in the jaws). Now, remove the brake line from the caliper and then feed it through the bracket on the strut.

Also if you mark around where the strut meets the hub (paint/marker pen) before you start, then when you re-fit you should be able to get the geometry about right. That's assuming it was ok to start with
