Changing front struts on a 2001 Solara Coupe.

Hi,


Can anyone give me some advice on the changing of the front struts on a 2001 Solara Coupe? Is there a detailed write up anywhere? What special tools will I need? Is it an easy enough job for a weekend?

Thanks.

the fronts are 20x easier to do than the rear...should only take you about half a day. I would recommend an impact gun (if you can), socket set, and torque wrench is about all you might need, oh, and a strut press (is that the name for it?). don't forget to get an alignment done afterwards.
