I've done it on my W202 and it was doable, as I recall on my W202 I had trouble removing a ball joint, but that doesn't seem like an issue with W203's. The W203 from reading in the manual looks easier.

Hopefully someone that has done it can reply, it seems that no kind of strut compressor is needed.

These cars (W203) do have a tendency to have stabilizer bar links become noisy - so if your getting a noise that may be the source. Just a tip.
