Easy job. Don't even have to disassemble the strut. Both sides took maybe an hour to do.

Step one: Remove front suspension. Brace the strut mount against something (I used a large vise) and knock the three studs out using a BFH.

Step two: Insert the three new bolts. There's a low point in the top hat that you can take advantage of to provide enough clearance to slide the bolts into the strut mount. You'll end up with this:



Step three: Tighten the nuts down:



You'll end up with this:



On the spacer, the notch in the hole goes down:



Complete strut, with the spacer, ready to install:



Throw the strut back in the car, and do the other side.

Ta-da!
