question

welcome to HS...

if you want to do the work yourself go and purchase a helms/chilton book for your car on how to take it apart and put it back together step by step.. that will assist on how to perform the tasks. From there if you had a ? you could as for surther assistance...

As for the hydro route had you considered bags? Less of a mess by far, you spring a leak in air hose it's cool but a line w/ hydro fluid....Blah...
to each his own though, good luck w/ that if you go w/ it. check out the repair manuals though. its a good investment if you want to work on your car yourself...
