Hi mate, unless you have done a "Macpherson strut" type suspension unit before you may find it quite difficult as you will need a special coil spring compressor. Depending how handy you are on the tools you could hire one and try it yourself. The shocker is contained inside the coil spring and it is very dangerous to try it without the right tools, I have attached a picture of the complete rear suspension for you to study.

Regards Pete.
