Torsion Bar Bushing replacement

My local garage guy told me that it would be about 1.5 hours work and about $175.00 to replace the right side torsion bar bushing on my 1988 S-10 Blazer 4x4 2 door. It does not look like it is that difficult a job when I crawled under to take a look see (I know very well that things can be alot more complicated than they may initially appear).

The part is anywhere from $20.00 to $35.00. Has anyone done this job that could shed some light on some unseen difficulties that are particular to this bushing replacement.

The rattling is driving me crazy!

Thanks in advance.
