Its pretty straight forward really. Its best to have a bench vice, in my experience it really helps. There is a flat nut of sorts that retains the inserts, put the strut assembly in the vice and use ford wrench (or some channel locks) and unscrew the retainer. Remove insert. Assembly is opposite of removal. Im sure somewhere on here is a write up for this.
