Depends.
If you intend to use OEM mercedes parts, you'll have to remove the half shaft from whichever side its leaking from and replace the boot.
Some aftermarket solutions have split boots where you just wrap the boot around the cv joint, use seam sealer to glue the two sides together and then clamp it down.
Its not necessarily HARD per se, but its time consuming and can be a pain.
