Very easy. Just make sure you put a rag over the FPR before you pull it out or you might get sprayed in the face with fuel if there is pressure in the rail. Putting in a new one is very simple, just pop it in and put the pin back in place.

If you start the car and then pull the fuel pump fuse and wait for it to stall out, you wont have any worries about getting sprayed. Just dont damage the o-ring putting the new one in or you will leak

Its the retaining clip. You can pop it off with a flathead and then with some effort, pull the fpr out. Putting it back in sometimes can be a pita
