Hope this helps. This info is for the front (please take care as i do not accept any harm done to you or the car)
Loosen wheel nuts while on the ground (21mm lug wrench from car; breaker bar)
Jack up car and support with jacks
Take off wheels
Take off brake fluid line from the strut with the little bolt holding it in(12mm socket)
Loosen the nuts on the hub(the two big ones) (17mm box and socket, breaker bar helps)
Take one of them out but leave one in loosly to support the weight of the shock
Unclip the abs line from the strut( I had to cut the plastic tab as it did not just come out in mine, and then i stuck it back on using super super super glue)(needle nose players, small standard screwdriver or preferably a pick; pray a little)
Loosen the three strut top bolts do not remove yet(12mm box for the back ones; socket with extension for other 4)
When it is loose jiggle the strut so it begins to sink out of the tower
Now remove the three top bolts
Now go to the hub and hold the strut and remove the remaining bolt in the hub
Jiggle it around and it should come out
Hope it helps
