Can I fix my glow plugs?

I am having a real problem with starting my car from cold. I have replaced the battery but it still doesnt like starting. The year is 2007 and it has done 90,000 miles.
I have read that the glow plugs may need replacing if so is this the sort of job that I could do or do I need to get the experts in?

Experts. But they may still snap off when they try to extract them. Potential nightmare.
