Maintenance/Repairs

2016 Nissan Leaf, 55k miles. AC stopped blowing cold. took it to Midas and they diagnosed a cracked connection fitting in the high-pressure hose where it connects to the condenser. $600 and change to repair. I can find the hose from Nissan for $90. Is it as simple as disconnecting the old hose at the compressor and back where it connects at the firewall, installing the new one, and having Midas do an evacuation and recharge? Or is it more complicated and not something I should DIY? I am fairly knowledgeable and handy (brakes, starters, plugs, etc.).
