Whether this is a DIY or not depends on how well setup you are. One is the tools of course and it will take some pretty hefty ones to get the bolts loose and it may not be a handy place to get to them, so I would want to slide under there and take a look at what's up and what tools I had. Second is how you are set for the hard work of lifting and holding the leg while fitting the bolts. If there is not a lift on hand, keep in mind how hard it is to lift a heavy item like that and hold. Can you see fitting some sort of support or is there any chance of one person lifting/ holding while another get the bolts in? I might look up the weight of each cylinder before saying yay or nay. I do know that I can't hold things very well when laying on my back ! Propping, support or jacks, maybe but it will take some thought.
For my age, condition, and willingness, I would go for the pro on this one. I can get more money but it's hard to get a new finger.
