I just did my first oil change last night. It was very easy. Just remove 16 bolts and 3 fasteners, drop the splash pan and it's so easy that I didn't spill one drop.

They are copper - not brass. Brass is pretty hard and isn't maleable like copper. You can reuse them as long as they aren't totaly mashed but at a $1 a piece why bother. I guess don't sweat it if you have to reuse it...
