There's a good "how to" thread here;

If you're replacing with a stock unit you obviously don't need to make any mods.

It's not difficult but some of those bolts will be tight. A breaker bar will be useful and a decent torque wrench to do them back up properly. I can't remember the torque settings offhand but they're FT.
