Very easy to do if you have just a small bit of wrenching!

It's so suprisingly easy you will laugh at yourself for worrying about. Provided you know the difference between a open end wrench and a pipe wrench.

super super easy, all you need is a straight slot screwdriver and 1/2 and 9/16 open end wrenchs for slack in your clutch cable. took me 15 minutes to do both.

The only thing I would add is be careful with your brake lever. I dont see how people do it but the brake light switch gets broken from time to time.

I know what you mean. I took my time and had no problems with the switch breaking. And I didn't find out about the easily busted switch until after I did my swap.
A pair of snap-ring pliers may help out, too.
