Easy is a relative word. Its not "hard" but you have to drop the rear end.

We had to also disconnect the rear exhaust and sway bar to drop the pumpkin far enough to install the diff cover. Not hard to do, just time consuming.
Make sure you torque everything back to spec so you don't lose an axle at 100mph - Lol

I put mine on while doing a 3.3 rear end swap so it was very easy.

with the right tools, a vehicle lift, and a good mechanical sense then yes it is easy to do.

The pumpkin is actually bolted to the cross beam in addition to the chassis. Gotta drop it to get the cover off.
