It's take the strut out time, if you have the struts that split in the middle (2 bolts half way up the leg) it makes it easier, once out you will need to compress the coil spring and then using a special tool undo the slotted nut at the top, remove top mount put in new and reassemble. Not a bad job, but be damn careful compressing the spring if they let go they would seriously injure you.

You can replace these with the strut on the car. You'll need a spring compressor. Here's how I did mine:
