Flyback replacement for Sony KV-27S45

Hello everyone. I am a newbie, and am looking for information about replacing a flyback for a Sony Trinitron KV-27S45 television. I am handy with computer hardware but have little to no experience fixing electronics. I have three questions:

1) Is replacing a flyback something I could do fairly easily?
2) Is there any soldering involved?
3) How expensive is this part?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Common problem with those sets, however are you sure?

The part itself retails for about $60~70 & while it is easy for an experienced tech, there is good bit of soldering/desoldering involved & possibility of shock hazard due to picture tube holding the charge.---not a procedure for someone who is not familiar.

Yes I am sure, as it was diagnosed by a TV repair place. I just didn't want to sink $150 into a 7 year old 27" TV if didn't have to. Thanks for the response though, as I will definitely NOT be trying this myself. I couldn't solder my finger together if I tried!
