You'll be fine.
Only thing i'd recommend is to take pictures of how the brake lines go on/around the beam.
I rushed it, came to put the new one on.. and was baffled by the brake lines, so had to try and work it out whilst on my back, whilst moving a beam around.
So yeah - take pics for reference

You can do it on your own but I'd highly recommend you get someone to help! Makes it a lot easier. Also mole grips come in very handy for the square nuts underneath.

I'm not talking about the brake lines, I'm on about the actually beam mounts.
