Not meaning to wise off, but if you've got a hydraulic service shop you trust and about 75-100 dollars it's not a hard job at all.
It costs a lot less to take it apart yourself and take the seals, o-rings, packing, etc., to have them matched up and then put it back together. That's usually not hard if you are reasonably adept and have a good selection of tools. A lot of folks do it themselves. But there can be a certain sequence that has to be followed taking it apart, there are parts that are supposed to have specific torque applied when you put it back together, and even a tiny bit of sand left inside can be a real heartache.
Actually, I've got the shaft out of one of mine in the back of the car right now; I pulled it out of the cylinder last week and took it into town to get the rubber parts replaced on it. When I read the part in the service manual about six hundred ft/lbs on the shaft nut I decided to let somebody else do that part.
