I installed H&Rs on my car last week (F80), and it was a piece of cake. The struts don't need to be completely removed from the vehicle, they will fall out of the wheel well enough. Then a spring compressor can be used. Strut brace needs to be removed and unbolt the aluminum firewall brace on the RH/passenger side. I modified an 18mm socket for the strut shaft nut so I could get the 10mm wrench on the top of the strut to hold the shaft. Key things to note: 1. Loosen the strut shaft nut prior to removal, but don't remove 2. MAKE SURE, you mark the rear cam bolts and washers on the rear suspension when these are removed so you can get alignment close to original specs.

Sorry I didn't put together a DIY, but I'd be happy to answer questions for anyone should you have them.
