I did mine with a ratchet and socket and it wasnt that hard. A tip to make it easier to get the bolts back in is to take a tapered punch and insert it in the bolt hole from behind as you unscrew the bolt. It will hold the arm in position while you put the bracket on the bolt. Then when you put the bolts back in they will push the punch back out of the hole.
