I can't tonight, but isn't this as easy as...

1. With weight on the car, undo the top nut.
2. Jack up the corner from under the ball joint high enough to place jack stand at normal door sill jack point.
3. remove the wheel
4. insert Jack stand as described
5. lower Jack carefully as the strut/sping pulls out of the upper mount.
6. Compress the piston rod, and remove the spring.
7. Ctrl-Z

edit: You may have to remove the sway bar link or jack up the opposite side first so the suspension can droop.
