It'd be great if I can do this without going to a mechanic. I'm in Hicksville, just a couple of minutes away from the train station.

Well you definitely want to make sure you have the right nuts/bolts/gaskets or you run the risk of having a leak at some point. Also if the stock bolts are rusted on, you'll probably need an impact wrench to make easy work of it. Did you try spraying some WD40 on it to let it soak in first?
Given your circumstances, an appropriately equipped shop might be the prudent thing to do. That said, if you're trying to save the $100, do you have all the necessary space/tools/jackstands to do this? I live about half an hour away from you.
Some local speed shops that you may want to consider if you go down that path: MR Performance in Westbury, Performance Auto Solutions in Deer Park, JMR Garage in Bayshore.
