Not hard. Have a broom or stick long enough to hold the hood open, or it will likely fall with only one cylinder hooked up.
The ball-end sockets may need a small/med screwdriver to remove the clip over the ball stud. New ones should just snap on. Small dab of lube in the sockets.
Do one at a time, easy peasy.

Changing out the hood (or hatch) struts is about as simple as it gets. It's a 5 minute job. The struts just clip in. Instructions on how to unclip the old struts should be included in the new struts.

It’s literally the only cheap and easy fix on a C6 🤷🏻♂️🤣😔
