Front or rear of the car? For the front;
Wheel off, droplink off, pop the brake lines out of the clips on the strut, remove the pinch bolt at the back of the hub, then just spray the hub/strut area with penetrating oil and start hammering the hub down. Once its off the strut, undo the top strut bolts in the engine bay and remove the strut and spring assembly.
Should really have to touch the brakes at all other than popping the brake lines ooff the strut.
If its for the rear then just search for a torsion bar lowering guide on google/youtube and go from there, but be warned its not an easy job!
