Rear suspension rebuild?

I think I need to rebuild my 2003 KX250 rear shock. Has anyone here ever done this or should i sent it off or to my local shop? I have located a rebuild kit complete with bladder seals bumper and shims i believe. Is this a capable task for some one who is not a mechanic but is mechanically inclined? Any thoughts on this would be extremely helpful. Thanks people! Also i have rebuilt my linkage and it is good to go.
 
It's the old time vs money tradeoff. It's not that hard to do, but you will need a shop to at least charge the shock with nitrogen.

OK, first question. Do you have a shop manual that describes the process?
