It is really easy Abdul. (fronts at any rate)
Its less than a dozen bolts ( I bought a 12v impact driver to do the strut-steering knuckle bolts).
You MUST have a spring compressor for the coils or else they will do you serious damage.

I would buy new top mount rubbers and replace them while you have it apart.
