Changing lower Control arm?

[97corolla]

How hard is it to change the drivers side lower control arm on a 97 corolla? Would it be wise for me to do it or pay the 300 to have it installed. Now i mean i can do a lot of things ike i only work on my truck though! Any tips? Also What is the cheapest you guys think i can get one for?

I'm trying to do it right now and i cant get one bolt off b/c it's blocked by something up front on the drivers side. i don't know what it is but it's hot

Really it should be a fairly easy thing to do, as long as the bushings are already in the replacement part.
