I printed out the whole link with all the pics, VERY helpful. You'll have to get a compressor from somewhere I think like Pepboys or Advance might rent them to you.

really helps if you have air tools... plus closed ended wrenchs, a set of deep sockets at least for the rears. Also you may need a large wrench for the one side of the strut bolts as you zip them off with an airgun on the otherside.
