Should not be any problems just be sure to check clearance on the bolt when you put it back on as it will be slightly longer due to thickness of the bracket. Also looks like your passenger peg will be much shorter and you may need a new bolt for that.

Since it has a bolt on each side I would place a floor jack under the right side of the frame and jack it up enough to take some of the weight off of the bolt before attempting to break it loose.
