DIY difficulty: Tie rod ends versus control arms?

It's been confirmed - there's some play on my starboard inner and outer tie rod ends. Just wondering how that job would be compared to upper and lower front control arms. Any comments, even completely irrelevant ones, would be appreciated.

Harsh criticisms are welcomed too as always.
