It's easy. The hardest thing is to avoid damaging the paint when pulling off the old seal (a flat screwdriver wrapped in a cloth has worked for me)

Is it literally a prise the old one off and then fit the new over the lock?

yes, it is that simple. I had to cut my old one off with a knife. Might be easier if you warm the new one up first in hot water to soften the rubber.
