Quite easy actually. If it is original (which I doubt) you would need to chisel off the rivets. If it has been changed they would be replaced with 3 nuts and bolts. You will need a large wrench for the ball joint nut, a pickel fork and a hammer. You don't need an alignment after either. Fairly straight forward, good luck.

Air chisel worked like butter...but not everyone has access to that stuff. You could also use a drill with a large bit to get the large part of the head off then use a punch to knock them from the bottom up through.
