Three nuts on top of each one under the hood. Two large bolts at the spindle. Removal of the lower two bolts may cause a camber change resulting in need for alignment. You will need a spring compressor to unload the forces for disassembly. Remove the strut shaft nut, transfer insulators, boots, bumpers, and reassemble.
