I think the gist is just jacking the car, removing the wheel, having a quality spring compressor (because if not an unleashed spring can do naughty things), then undoing some bolts, hooking the strut up, bolts again, put the wheels on after releasing the spring and then alignment, isn't it?

I did one on a 02 nissan sentra. Jack the car up and then unbolt the top strut mount, then there were 2 bolts on the bottom where the axle is, once the thing is out, compress the spring and then unbolt another screw on the top and viola, assembly is just the reverse.
