If you are just replacing #2 then it's not too bad. The radiator sits on it so it needs to ber be removed completely of just moved out of the way while you work.
Replacing #4 is more involved. Radiator needs to be dealt with as well as the bumper, fender, headlight, and all the little parts come off to get to it.
Then you just go to town with a spotweld drill bit.

Its not too bad to replace. I just replaced mine on my hatch not long ago. I chose to go to a junk yard and cut the front end off a car that had no front end damage. A little more work but didn't cost much at all.

1, 2, and 4 usually come as one piece when you do a JDM front end swap
