easy only if you can unbolt the old one, or you will have to grind it off.
unbolt the old one and put the new one on.

if you dont have a grinder handy clamp some mole grips onto the rubber side then undo the nut 
some have also have slots on the back too to put a spanner on too ,

I had a torx figment in mine but i just rounded the bits off. I also put some big grips on as tight as i possibly could and it was not enough.

Soak the nuts for a couple of days with penetrating oil first (NOT WD40 ... something like PlusGas!)

Just cut them off, cheap enough to replace with new.

Grinding them is the easier way if they have been fitted longer than a year max. Just be careful if you do and make sure you tie the abs cables well away if you have them.
