first off..you bought struts only...
to do the front, jack it up..take off the wheels. you will see the old strut assembly and behind the bottom of the strut is the fork which connects to the control arm. There is a bolt in the back you have to undo..i think a 14mm. Once that is loose, move down that fork to find the bolt at the bottom a 17mm if i remember...undo that, and finally pop ur hood and undo the the 14mm bolts holding the strut to the wheel well. Have a friend step on the brake rotor and push the assembly down and get the strut out any way you can.
The rears work the same way but much easier...undo the top bolts, undo the bolt at the bottom of the strut and i undo the bolt holding the rear lower control arm to the hub i believe....this allows you to push down the control arm to get the strut out.
