I have a 430S- 2000, I want to install an Arnott front strut. Are their step-by-step instructions, hopefullly with pictures? Can you let me know how to access this? Do I need any specific tool?

If you're replacing your struts with Arnott's you do not have to perform either of the top seal related fixes (fix-kit or epoxy replacement), Arnotts you purchase will have the updated top seal.
It is basically a plug-n-play. Only item you may be missing are the bottom set screws, 2 per strut.
