Not very hard. Have ripped of plastics from almost every make/model.
It only gets easier with time. I can have a KQ 750 Stripped of plastic in 1 hr.
and that's without busting clips. Back on in 1 hr. First time i tried it took me 3 hrs. If i remember right it only took 1.5hrs to do it. Be organized and label all fasteners. this also saves time when u put it back on.
It can be done.
