I just had to replace the one in my car. If you can work on cars it is fairly easy to do. the hardest part is getting the motor out because of the mounts. but once you get it out it is super easy. The average cost for a head gasket is about 100 dollars. If you take it to someone to get it fixed they will charge you around 600, depending on where you take it.
are you sure its just a blown head gasket?... if heads are warped due to overheating replacing the gasket wont help you will need new heads as well. You can get a Haynes Manual or Chiltons, they will give you step by step guidance on replacing your gasket.
a Haynes manual would be your best reference for step-by-step removal and installation of any do-it-yourself work
yes!!
Remove the head and replace the gasket. No other way to fix it.

No it will not. The only thing that will fix a blown head gasket is to replace the gasket.

It is not possible to repair the actual head gasket. Repair of a blown head gasket is to replace the gasket.
Bad plugs, or plug wires. Blown head gasket, or burnt valve. If you are loosing coolant with no apparent leak you may have a blown head gasket. Sweet smell at the exhaust is another sign of blown gasket. If none of that applies, replace the plugs and go from there.
