As you see it that's how simple it is.
You can use your car jack and a safety stand, a bottle jack to hold the lower control arm in position after the wheel has been removed.
Probabley the hardest part is removing and replacing the trunk lining.
Use the OE shock for comfort.
The Bilstein Comfort is what I used.
