I have no idea what you are able to fix yourself but the L3010 is really very simple. You will need a good snap ring plier but otherwise just normal tools. It is a sophisticated seal they use at that joint and care must be used installing it. Takes me about 1 hr per side to do that seal. Buy a workshop manual, They are a little expensive for that model but if you want to do your own work, well worth the price!;)
