Not hard to do. I usually remove the screws from middle to edges. The
washers may stick but try to remove and keep them in a safe place.
Easy to lose.

Watch out for fiberglass etc. dust when lowering the headliner.
Goggles may not be a bad idea.

You'll see the headliner start to sag as you remove the screws. Once
it's sagged far enough, it's not hard to pop it out at the various
points where it tucks in. The RR (driver side) corner can be a minor
challenge to seat when reinstalling but it's not rocket surgery.    ;)
