The strut assembly itself you have to put the front of the vue on jack stands the remove the wheel the two bolts going thru the knuckle then the nuts at the top of the strut under the hood.The next step is the harder one you need a spring compressor to compress the spring and hold it compressed then remove the nut at the top of the strut best to use a impact gun.Then you can remove the strut mount spring etc and changed the strut.Also if you do it wrong that compressed spring can badly hurt or kill you or someone around you.
