    yes , you can, just get manual, read before, i believe those works been covered in internet in specific forums. download manual, or buy one.

    not easy, bit greasy, but possible.

    what you mention left suspension ?? you mean shock absorber? if that, then by the rules , you have to change both shock absorbers on one axle, or cheapest way, buy whole unit in scrapyard, and fit, just make sure it is not knackered.

    good luck.

    You'll need a ball joint separator and a spring compressor
