In this particular case, the gutter isn't too far off the ground
(maybe 7 or 8 feet). *It's not all that long, maybe 12-15 feet.
I'm pretty handy, but not all that experienced.
Easy done if you build up a low walkway and have help. Two people are
ideal for handling long pieces of lumber which you will need. Current
good building practice is to use 2 x 6 fascia for strength and
endurance. Makes hanging gutters much easier, but costs a bit more.
Stainless screws in the rafter tails will last many years, too.

If the fascia is rotting, what are the chances that the rafters are too?
And then what?
Hopefully there's a rafter cap that rotted first.
