Worst part of changing the struts is getting the bloody bolts off at the bottom!
Be liberal with the WD40 the night before

Hi ..... takes roughly an hour a side. I didn't need compressors but my springs are Prodrive so a little lower. If yours are standard not sure ....

Always use spring compressors, you never know how much those springs are compressed! It can be very dangerous without them.
