you have to take the door panels off. remove all screws you will have plastic pieces called christmas trees that hold the panel in place. there is a tool for this you can pick it up at Napa for cheap this will allow you access to the inner space of the door un plug plugs to power switchs and the rod to your door catch hardeware you then can remove panel completely to get access to mirror assembly. installation of door panel is in reverse

unfortunatly no. i do this for a living and hate doing the front struts on these vehicles. Some you can skip that step, it all depends on the holes in the frame where the lower control arm fits. If you can pry the control arm down far enough you can get it out. But just when I think I can skip that step WHAM I get one that needs all of that stuf loosened. By the way have ypou checked the rear springs? I do a lot more rear loaded struts on thse than front strut replacement because of broken springs. Also dont forget to buy new sway bar links they will break most of the time tring to get them off.
