Without safety stands you will not be able to do the job right. Even then it would be difficult. I have done this in the driveway with safety stands and a hacksaw. Be prepared to finish the job with sore arms and shoulders. And be sure to use some safety googles too. If you are doing this yourself then you will probably be doing other things in the future as well so buying a set of stands and a hydraulic floor jack would be worth it. Shouldn't cost more that fifty bucks.
