Not hard per say, just time consuming. You have to open the diff and pull the C clips and remove the axels, rotors, calipers, and backing plates. One the rear end is down to a bare end you use a slide hammer to remove the old bearings. Put the new ones in the freezer for about 30 minutes and it will help with getting them into the axle housings and you need a bearing instal tool so that you can hammer them into the axle tubes.
