What do you mean by ground strap? If it is the connection between the battery and body, it is a straight forward job. Disconnect the battery terminal (always remove the negative terminal first even if you are not working on it, and reconnect last) and remove the holding bolts of the cable to remove. Reverse procedure to complete.

Remember to remove key from ignition and keep door glass open to avoid inconveniences due to accidental locking of the doors when battery is being reconnected.

If you do not know where the ground wire, why do you think you need to replace it?
There are many grounding points and which is the one you think needs replacement?
