It is not to bad. But it can be intimidating. Make sure you dont throw away the carrier shims and remember what side they were on. Most of the time the same shims are used after a gear install. The crush sleeve is a pain. I had a breaker bar on a 3/4 inch ratchet and was pushing with my foot and almost tipped the car off the jack stands. Went and got a good craftsmen impact wrench with 680 lbs of torque and that solved the problem.
