Jerimy it all depends on your skill level and acces to tools their is nothing you cant do with hand tools and a good service manual or preferably a buddy that has some experiance

If you have some good stands and floor jack along with some stout tools you can do it. Notice I'm not recommending a bumper jack or cement blocks. Do not underestimate the weight of your rig up front. You may have to rent some tools to get it apart and back together.

shouldnt be that hard to do if you have some basic skills. just be sure you have a big enough sockey for the axle nut, and some penatrating oil will help out a lot

Ty your loose parts up so as not to damage them by dropping from gravity too.
