Jack up the vehicle, remove the wheels, remove the bolts, and nuts, install the new assemblies and reinstall wheel and have an alignment done. Purchase new bolts as they are stretch bolts and one use only. Make sure you have a set of jack stands, a 2 two or 3 ton jack a good metric socket set, a breaker bar and a safe place to work. Youtube has some videos.

You don't, have someone that knows what they are doing install it for you. You will need an alignment after the install.
