Is it difficult to change a drive shaft?

I believe I have snapped the drive shaft of my Ryobi 3043a trimmer, the engine is running fine but there is no action at the business end of the trimmer. My question - is it difficult to source and replace the drive shaft or should I have a professional do it for me??

A very simple process - take off 4 screws, drop the old
shaft out and slide in the new one. No problems, it was quicker to change it myself than to get a response on this forum. Thanks anyway.
