Installing Front Springs

Question for anyone who has taken the front struts off. Do they come off without removing the whole front hub? The service manual says to break the hub loose from the ball joint and tie rod end. It looks like the strut should come off without all of that hassle. Thanks

Thanks Sam, I had a feeling that the factory was making this a bigger project than it is.
