it'll be pretty obvious once you get it apart, you unbolt the 2 steering knuckle bolts that go up through the steering knuckle and into the bottom of the strut housing, then pry the lower control arm down and you wrestle the strut off the steering arm, then you put the spacer between them wrestele them back togetehr and put longer bolts in, it's simple but unless your on lowering springs it's a pain, removing the a-arm from the crossmsmber makes this easier till you have to wrestle the a- arm back in place
