I've only got one problem with your guide so far......
When you go to remove the factory strut from the car, it is actually a VERY GOOD IDEA to loosen (not completely undo) the nut in the middle of the strut top when the car is resting on the ground.
I've found on a number of occasions that the bastard strut top nut simply wont farken undo with the strut out of the car, especially if you have non-captive springs. You try to undo it, but the shock arm just spins with your attempts to undo it
This is the point where you abuse Mr Toyoda for using nylon lock nuts over the next 2 hours whilst you bolt the struts back in....
It's about 100000% easier to undo those nuts when the weight of the car is resting on the suspension (ie car on the ground)
