yeah, these are big bolts. You will not break them. Spray all of them with penetrating fluid the night before and they come apart easily. The only trouble is the lower bolt, and even moreso for me was getting the darn shock off the arm - it seemed to be press fit in there. Both times, that was the hardest for me, yet few others have had this trouble. I wonder if that part was out of spec on the large side on my car... but both sides?!? anyway, with great force, it came out.
buy or borrow a good beefy spring compressor and never look down the barrel of the gun. Compressed springs contain a lot of energy! Other than those things, it was a fairly easy job... but where you need to take it for an alignment after anyway, you may be happy having the work done for you. Kind of depends on your time/interest etc.
