The front struts need to be unbolted as an assembly from the car.
If you can unbolt them, you can take them to a shop and they will more than likely swap the springs for you(the dangerous part) for pretty cheap then you can bolt them back up to the vehicle.
The strut top bolts under the hood are a 13, 14, or 15mm and there are 3 of them.
then there are 2 bolts that bolt strut to knuckle and they are a 19, 21, or 22mm.
then the swaybar endlink is always the bitch pretty sure its 15 or 16mm, most of the time the ball spins in the socket and what you need to do is apply pressure to the ball&socket to unbolt the nut from the strut. I use a prybar, vicegrips or I will just torch thems bastards off if Im having a bad day.

Id also advise upgrading to moog endlinks while your doing this. They are beefier can be lubed and also have more material to grab onto if you need to remove them.
