It seems intimidating but it can be remarkably fast compared to many other design and is easily done without dismantling much of the suspension- I think you just remove the lower shock/strut bolt? and brake caliper (2 bolts, suspend with a coat hanger)and you can pull the spline end out of the rotor and swing the entire suspension out of the way as it will pivot enough on the ball joints. Then a good yank or pry and the entire unit pops out of the trans. Make sure you push the new one into the trans all the way until it clicks or the seal will leak even though everything appears to be reassembled correctly.
If you don't want to do it it should be a reasonable labor charge at a mechanic who knows the removal trick. Otherwise he's likely to disconnect all kinds of suspension stuff unnecessarily.
