Replacing strut mounts

I recently found that my passenger side strut mount is loose. How can I fix this? Should I take it to a shop or do it myself?? Please give any advice or experience and/or directions if you've done this yourself.

If you have the time (say 2hrs most) you should do it.

I don't know if any write-ups list this but when you are removing the bolts for the strut that attatch it to the knuckle/rotor assembly put a small jack (I used a spare Honda/Acura OEM jack with the cup style) under the assembly so that it is just touching (not pressing up) on it. This will make getting the bottom bolts slide out very easily. The top ones are cake.
