Real easy job...

If you deal with rust you might want to get 2 new sway bar end links.

1) Disconnect sway bar link at strut

2) Remove both bolts that go thru the knuckle and strut. You will have to pound them thru with a hammer.

3) Remove top three nuts from engine compartment and it will come right out...

4) Find a spring compressor and disassemble.

5) Reverse for install

Good luck
