Default Changing Struts?

How hard is it to change the struts on a fox body. I looked at the tech article for spring install, but it seems you do not have to take the springs out to change the front struts like many other cars. Will I have to take off the rotor and calipar and other components or is it just as simple as un-bolt and bolt back in place. Thanks in advance

Put a jack/stand under the control arm, unbolt the strut. Pretty much it. You do not have to remove the brakes.

I put 90/10's on my 91 on my lunch break from work. Job was complete in about 45 min. It's simple.
