Hi, it was fairly easy. I would say your biggest problem will just be rusted/stuck bolts. (at least on my car, being a 52 plate)

soak in some penetrating fluid, and use a metal brush to clean everything up before attempting to take it apart

A good couple of braker bars, I did have to buy a slim fit 13mm(from memory) because 2 of the sub frame mounting bolts are blocked by the engine, and you'll struggle to get anything else into the space, ideally a proper slim fit socket+ratchet is needed
