Not hard, but you'll want a pickle fork or other type of separator to get the center link off it. Auto Zone will loan you the tool if you buy the part from them (have heard some people say even if you don't buy the part from them).
It will only restore your handling if that's your problem and you don't have other problems. Make sure it is lined up so the center link is parallel to the ground when you're done. An alignment never hurts afterwards, either.
