The front isn't the one you've got to worry about, it's usually a pretty straightforward job if you're following a good guide, and competent with spanners with a few specialist £20 tools such as balljoint splitters and spring compressors.

The rear will be far worse, especially if the torsion bar is seized. I recommend asking in your region for anyone close by to do it for you, or a recommended garage. You also want to make sure they lower the torsion bar the correct way, rather than the 'notches' method - which will no doubt fuck your beam up.
