How difficult is it to replace a Tow Bracket Hitch on a '08 F150?

What's going on guys,

I'm planning on visiting some family that live in Lake Havasu for the Fourth of July weekend and would fancy taking out my cousin's boat on the water (the poor thing sees less of the wet stuff than the Beach Boys ever did ) so I'm borrowing his '08 F150 due to its commendable towing capacity. When I went to pick it up this past weekend I noticed one small hitch (pun intended) in my plans- the tow bracket hitch was hanging on by literally one bolt! Apparently my good ole cousin attempted to pull a tree with his F150 and, well, the tree must have won this ill-conceived game of tug-a-war.

In exchange for the free truck and boat rental, I've decided to replace the Tow Bracket (including the ball) for my cousin before the upcoming weekend. I would like to know if anyone has had experience with this job and, if so, please provide me with any insights? Do I need any other parts besides the tow bracket (PNC #19A282 in this diagram:Part Detail) and the ball assembly?

Thanks in advance guys!
