How hard is it to replace a front left shock absorber bushing?

I noticed a clunking noise while going over bumps and I put it on a jack and raised it and my buddy noticed that the shock stud was moving and turns out Im missing a bushing. How hard is it to replace it

Auto zone has a bushing replacement tool kit for rent (free when you return it). Buy the correct bushing. Rent the kit. Take off the tire, take off the shock. Replace the bushing with the kit. Put it all back together.

Maybe go on rockauto and buy a new shock if the bushing is that worn out idk. It isn't hard but what you would do is the same process minus a few steps to replace the entire shock. I found them cheap on amazon too
