Borrow the spring compressor from Advance auto for free. Impact gun is nice but not needed. Spray pb blaster and hand tools go along way.

Make sure you chock the tire when the car is lifted. 2 stands are enough.

Leave the 2nd to last nut on barely threaded on when you remove the final nut from the struts so that the whole assembly don't drop and fall on the floor.

Make a diy video. You get 2 tries to make a good video.
