It shouldn't be too hard to change but its best to get new clamps and gaskets while your at it. Just make sure you use a good pair of axel stands

Yeah as simple as that. I did mine yesterday. All you need tool wise is a deep 13mm ratchet, axle stands and a jack. Maybe a large screw driver to help you get the rubbers off.
I would suggest having someone there to help you hold it all in place while you tighten it as it can be fiddly on your own
