As long as the bolts at each end come out it really is not that hard a job.
If you have an anti roll bar the bolts that hold that in place can be a cow to get out because they seize in place but with the right tools.

15mm socket, short extension bar, 18mm socket a little deeper then some, trolley jack, axle stands, ramps, replacement clips to hold cables to arms, spanners which may need modifying for drop links if fitted, 10mm socket, 10mm bolt extractor if anti roll bar bolts seized, torque wrench, drift, hammer miedium size.
I'd replace anti roll bar bolts with ones with a bigger head if they are fitted

Not a job I would like to do at the road side let alone in winter.
