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.

Its literally juat two bolts on each side mate. If they get stuck then you will have to cut thm off as said but thts easy enough

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.
