first: if you unbolted the 2 bolts for the bottom prtion of the seat it should just pull right out.

second: when you take the wheel off, you will see 2 large 17mm bolts holding the strut to the hub, you want the top one. just mark it so you can get it somewhat close when you put it back together to drive for a little while. you'll need an alignment.

Yep, that covers it all. I'd be sure and spray all the big bolts with some PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench and let it soak in some before trying to loosen them.

Dude, why not just wait till next week and I will help you? Anyway, give me a call and I will walk you through it. I did mine solo so it's not that hard, just time consuming.
