Question Strut Install DIY Instructions?

I did a search and found squat on strut removal and install on my wife's 03' Corolla. Does anyone have the info on a DIY install and removal of the struts? I just got some struts and want to do it myself to save some money. I know an alignment will be necessary after the install, but if anyone has the info it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

^ It was relatively easy. The only PIA is getting the spring compressed and put onto the new strut. It took about 4 hrs. taking my time and drinking beer.
