depends how you are with tools. Not a hard one, decent size job though. You will need a decent set of tools too.

hey Brendon, not an overly mechanically challenging job.
just get out your Gregory's or Haynes manual, grab a carton of beer, and drink a 6 pack per wheel, and you'll be right.

pretty easy from what i have seen and done. Hardest part is pressing out the outer bearing case that stay in the hub. The rest should be easy. Make sure you replace the outter hub that is in there otherwise you are shortening the life of the new bearing.

I think that the hardest bit about replacing the wheel bearings is undoing the big nut on the axle that's done up to some ridiculous torque.
