if its a sedan. raise it up. pull back carpet behind the rear seats. undo the appropriate bolts and the strut should fall out pretty much.

If it's a sedan, then what HLC is spot on. They're pretty easy. And it doesn't matter much if it's live axle or IRS, procedure is much the same, only the actual spring length/shape is different. And yes, mush easier to do the backs than the fronts - backs should be around 15 mins per side; fronts are more like 40 mins per side (I'm talking for an experienced coil changer like myself, lol - double those estimates for first timers).
