After having done a few, I'd say sometimes it's easy, sometimes not. Just getting the output shaft to line up properly.

Once I was struggling for about 45mins, shouting and swearing at the bloody thing, arms were killing me due to all the holding and pushing.

Went in, sat down and had a cuppa, came back out and it went on first try.
