If you are tall and/or your vehicle is low enough you might be able to do it by yourself.
We have same rack and car setup. I can do it by myself and I am not tall. But I do agree that it is about a 7 difficulty (1-10). Two people is easier but I would still rank it a 5 or 6. The hardest part is getting the forks into mount without scratching the car. The rest is not too tough. Removing the fork without scratching is another crux. I can't think of any carrying system that is simple if you have to work at head height or higher.
