&^YU~~~~~~~~~(sorry but my cat just jumped on the keyboard)lol
im hoping to attempt it tomorrow(i have the tools and safe stands,just need the knowledge
cheers carlyle

Get yourself a Haynes manual! And a backspace key!

Jack up car. Support with axle stands. Open bonnet. Loosen top nut on shock tower a bit. Go back to under arch,remove brake caliper. Pop out the balljoints. Go back to bonnet, undo the 3 securing bolts. B2A remove front strut with brake disc. Maywell have to flex ARB out of the way. Put unit in vice, i did mine on the floor. Attatch spring compressors IMPORTANT. Compress, undo already loosened top bolt. Undo compressor. Remove washers/bearing etc.

Put on new springs, replacement is reversal of above.

please dont try it winthout spring compressor/tensioner things.

unless you want a pig-tail of metal shot through your mush.

padoooooing!
