Take your time and watch what you do. When I first did it, I accidentally put the new kickstand into the kickstand mount backwards. This added a little extra time but it is an easy change out if you use the penny method.

I didn't replace the leg, I replaced the whole assembly. No pennies needed, no fiddling with springs, just two bolts off, swap, two bolts on. Got a used Sport Glide kickstand off ebay for about $90 or so.

Yes, if replacing just the leg and dealing with the spring and all, your advice is well heeded.
