A big ass screwdriver or medium size crow bar will do the trick.

YMMV ;-)

No, you can use whatever you can find to pry open the carrier a touch to let the strut slide out.

Or beat them out with a hammer like I do.

You can get the information about spindle carrier lever from the user manual of your vehicle. And if you do not possess the user manual, you could get a copy of it for free, when you visit the website https://manuals.co/. It offers car user manuals for almost all kinds of cars and models.

I found this smallish ory bar worked really well for spreading the strut clamp. $4 at Harbor Freight.

YMMV
