Yea, easy job. Jack up the back end and support it on axle stands. Dont get under the car just with the jack supporting it!

Undo the bolts n pull them out! Easy as that!

lol, nah it isnt much harder.

According to my diagram in the Service Manual they are mounted on the rear edge of the arm, which looks heaps easy to get at.

Just make sure the axle is supported when you remove them, cos itl wanna drop with the IRS.
