Default Outer CV joint,is it easy to do ???

I need to replace the outer CV joint on the drivers side front axle but have never done one before.Is it fairly straight forward or does it require specialist tools ??
It looks quite easy but looks can be deceiving !!
What sort of price should I be looking at for a replacement part,its for my 02 sti type uk ??
Any pointers/help will be greatly appreciated
