LCR HiViz sight install question

Has anyone installed one of the Ruger HiViz front sights themselves? It says professional installation recommended on the Ruger website, but I wonder if that's just what they recommend to be on the safe side.

Is the sight held in place by any other means than the roll pin in the side of it? Does it require a sight removal tool or a vice to remove/push the sight off after the pin is punched out? In your opinion, how difficult of a job would you consider this for someone who is fairly mechanically inclined, but not a gunsmith?

I am seriously considering ordering one of the sights, esp. if I could install it myself. Also I would be interested in hearing opinions on whether one of the colors is better in low light than the other. Thanks
