It's not terribly difficult. You need to remove the fan and radiator. The biggest aggravations are getting the crankshaft seal ring off the crank and getting the balancing disk lined up properly when reinstalling. There is plenty of guidance available if you do a search. Inattention or impatience can result in a damaged crankshaft. So I would do the job when I was not under a time constraint.
