RE: front struts
Here you go. How to replace struts. I just did these on my buddies car.
Bolt sizes and all.
1. Raise the front of vehicle and support frame on jack stands.
2. Support the lower control arm with floor jack.

3. Raise the lower control arm slightly
front upper
4. Remove 21mm that attaches the strut to the upper mount.
front lower
5. Remove the strut to steering knuckle 24mm nuts and 21mm bolts.

6. Remove old strut.
7. Installation is in reverse order of removal.
