The process itself is straight forward but I had to work in a really tight space under the sink. That was really what made it a pain in the ass. I had to lay on my back and cram myself underneath the sink in the cabinet to reach everything plus I'm a 6' tall goon so that definitely wasn't helping either. You're just stuck in an awkward and uncomfortable position most of the time.

Same experience installing a dishwasher. Inside a small cavity accessible only by climbing over my new dishwasher and avoiding the existing washing machine, crouching using leg muscles I rarely ever use, with the only light coming from a torch, on flooring made damp from dripping pipes that I hadn't tightened enough, arms getting sore from lifting them above my shoulders for extended periods, I understood why plumbers get paid what they get paid.
