to get the strut out loosen the strut mount bolt on the hub and raise hub as high as possible on the strut, then separate the ball joint, the hub then can be slid off the strut but becareful to not hyper entend the cv joint. support the hub and drop the strut out
install is the reverse
what brapple said is the best way to do it, but I was unable to loosen and seperate my ball joint. I loosened the nut to give me some room and that worked great.
you need to open the hub up some to help the ball joint come out
