Axle nut has to come off. Break it free with the car on the ground. Impact socket, breaker bar, pipe. You'll need to at least pull the center caps off the wheels to get to it. On a later 9-3 there's an axle nut cap.
I'm a little too lazy today to do another long write up for this, but you need to break the tie rod end free with a puller, ball joint nut with a puller or creative idea, ABS sensor mount, There's rotor screw holding the rotor on, extract carefully, heat might be a good idea. Once it's out, you need spring compressors to get the spring off, then a large vise to hold the strut while you break the strut nut free to get the old one out. New one torques in at 160+ ft lbs.
