Check the profile of a member named lanceparkhurst. He has install directions on all of his posts. If you can't find it let me know I have a copy.

Simple . Take tires off . Disconnect upper and lower ball jonts both sides and steering links.. Take out lower strut bolt watching which way it goes . Take the top 3 nuts off of the top of the strut . Remove strut . Compress strut springs . Loosen top nut on strut . Remove strut tower bracket . Remove bushing from bracket . Drive the bolts out of the bracket and put the new ones in . Lube the new bushing and press it n with a bench vise or a press . Reverse all steps . I found it is key to make sure you disconnect all steering linkages and ball joints on both sides makes install easier.I think thats all .

I also found it easier if you disconnected the front anti sway bar as well.
