The main thing you need is step by step instructions from the service manual. Here it is. Take a look and see if your skills are up to the task, I bet they are. https://secured.whirlpoo...ILE/Duet%20Job%20Aid.pdf

It seems like you would need three hands. There are two tabs that you have to push down while turning the shock, right?
