Just unbolt the shock mount and remove the 17 or 18mm nut from where the ball joint sits in the bearing housing. From there its just one more inner bolt and its in a really ****ty place.

You can do it yourself. Just take you time whenever your working on your car.

Nobody is born with skills and everybody has to start somewhere. Live and learn -- or pay through your nose or any other bodily orifice. ;-)
