I just replaced both mine, and apart from the nuts being a bit awkward to start with, it was a pretty simple job. 

I used these:

6.22 + vat each.  :y

and used this maintenance guide:

Mostly because I was also swapping the suspension arms!

Probably this photo and some spanners is all you'll need:
