I rented a spring compressor from Kragen for $6. It's much easier if you have air tools, but a big breaker bar will also work in removing the strut bolts.
If this is your first time replacing the struts with hand tools, expect to spend the better part of a day, maybe 4-6 hours with a couple of breaks.
