Struts - easy or difficult ??

I have a '01 Prism and my daughter has a '02 Prism. Both will be needing struts soon. Has anyone replaced these themselves ???? How easy ??? or should I bow to the repair shops and pay them for all that LABOR ???

if you buy the replacement struts with the springs not bad hard. but if you just get struts then you have to have a spring compressor [some auto parts stores like autozone will loan these] and take the springs off your old ones and put on the new ones.figure most of a saturday ,if it is your first time doing struts.and be careful with the spring compressor and spring because the spring will knock the **** out of you. some struts on some models require you to take the brake line loose others do not. my '92 toyota i had to remove the brake line and reattach it. while your at autozone getting the compressor pick up a repair manual if you don't have one .i think one manual will cover both years
