This is not that complicated so I would suggest giving it a shot if you are comfortable working on a vehicle on a jack stand.

Here is a guide that will help with lifting the vehicle safely:

Also, here is a guide that will help with this as well.

Please see the info from the manual that will provide the remaining detail needed including all the torque specs needed.

Please let us know what other questions you have. Thanks
