Anyone can do car repair work, you just need to tools and the will, with instructions from us. Wear protective gloves and eyewear, here is a guide to help you lift the car up while using jack stands for safety:

Also, you will need to drain the fuel out before removing the tank, use fire safety precautions as well, here are two videos to help you do the job correctly:
