Removing/Reinstalling Front Struts

Can anyone point to a good how-to for removing and re-installing the front struts? I need to replace my front passenger strut mount, and the last time we had the strut out it was nearly impossible to get out and back in. We removed the sway bar link, the control arm and removed the nut for the ball joint attachment, and it was still nearly impossible to get out and back in. Any suggestions on how to do it smoothly?
