You need to remove the strut at the top of the disc where it is attached.There is one long bolt for you to undo.Then remove the nut at the top of the strut which is a nylock.Tap down the disc part but not striking the disc area until the disc and hub is sererated from the strut.Remove the brake pipe from the holder on the strut and then it should lower for you to remove.Once this is done and you have the whole strut out of its holdings you then get to the difficult part.You need to get spring compressors which you attach top of spring and bottom the you compress.Undo the rubber moulding at the top.This is what stops the car going bump on rough roads.Remove the spring.Compress the new one and marry it to the strut and start the return journey.Put everything back the same way and tourqe the nuts to the right pressure.
