i took on the task of changing my struts. Let me say it wasnt hard at all. I want to say thanks to everyone that posted to my question, you guys made it alot easier.

Man!,when I losened up my struts and tapped the top with a hammer the strut just collapsed and went together....boy I guess they were SHOT! cause when I took the binding off the new ones they sprung out and I had to push them together to get them to fit...anyway thanks alot....
