My front left shock is leaking and needs replacing.
Is this something which can be simply done without the need for coil compression tools and the like?

No, it does require a spring compressor and air tools, you could replace them both with a cheapo spring compressor from pep boys or kragen, just be careful my friend and do them one at a time so you dont get confused. ♥
