Get a can of PB Blaster; works wonders on rusty/stuck bolts. Also, be sure to note the orientation of the front camber adjustment bolt. I also like to use anti-seize on the bolts for reassembly.

Be sure you have a Spring compressor if you intend on reusing the struts or removing the springs.

be sure to get an alignment (or align yourself) immedaily afterm, or else your tires will probebly waist away fast. If you're really cool, you'll get corner balanced too.
