That does sound a bit naughty for a couple of hours work....

It's not a very difficult job,but you do need to remove and partly stip the strut,so apart from needing a decent jack and an axle stand to lift and support the car,you will also need a set of decent quality spring compressers and a balljoint splitter.

Happy to write you up a walk-through if you want to have a go....
