The actual disassembly and reassembly aren't difficult, but there are a couple of finicky adjustments you need to get right. One is the side bearing pre-load and the other is the gear backlash. If you have not done this before, I strongly suggest that you get a shop manual and read the rear end section thoroughly before proceeding with the job.
If you aren't changing gearsets, the good news is that you won't have to set the pinion depth.
