Not as easy as say a honda or escort, but compared to a pre98, which really isn't that hard with the proper tools and knowledge, the struts are easy and quick to remove. It would be hard for me to do a pre98 by myself, but I did my svt tonight with no problems. Pry bar makes it simple. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

My Dad and I just installed new struts a few weekends ago in under 4 hours. Neither of us had ever done it before, but it was actually pretty easy.
