On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd put it at about a 6. Not too bad. You need all the everyday tools and a press. I haven't had to do them yet myself

u dont need a press. u can use a hammer and 2 sockets to get the job done. i just did this a few weeks ago when i replaced my axle. for the sockets u need one that is larger to catch the cap and one smaller to be able to push the cap threw the ear. best bet is to place on a concrete surface and start hitting the small socket. oh yea remember to take out the snap rings on the inside
