Depends on your level of experience really, it's only really a 2 bolt job once the wheel is off but those 2 bolts are the bottom balljoint (and associated splitting/levering back together) and the hub centre bolt.
Simple enough really just a bit of manhandling to get the balljoint back in & the splines on the old outer CV might be reluctant to move from the hub but other than that it's one of the simpler jobs you could do IMO. Have a look at a couple of videos on changing driveshafts though & decide from there I'd say since if you get stuck the car is immobile, and if changing the whole shaft watch out for losing a bit of oil from the diff housing when you pop the inner joint out.
