How easy are they to replace and do you need to reset your WD equipment after an install?
It is extremely likely you will need to reset the WD. Means just about a yes.
If your hitch setup was like mine, I had to buy a new drop shank.
Here is the setup on the original 2003 receiver

Here are the 2 receivers side by side

The newer receiver pin box was higher requiring a lower drop shank to level out the camper. Ended up looking like this

This all depends on the shank you have now and the difference in the new receiver is built in relation to the old one. And then there is the excess twist/flex issues that eats up WD settings.
This is not hard to do, just be prepared for it in the event you get into a height difference.
Hope this helps
