No it's not hard. You need a rear stand, a torque wrench(rear axle is 72.5 ft lbs) a dremel or grinder to remove the master link, as well as a chain press tool to seperate it and reinstall the new masterlink(a C clamp can be used). An impact wrench really helps when trying to remove the nut on the front sprocket(or a long 1/2"drive breaker bar), and it is a right hand thread. Break it loose first, before removing the chain, you need something to keep the sprocket from turning. The gen2 front sprocket nut and rear axle nut are both 36mm, I don't remember what the gen1 is. You'll also need a 10mm and a 12mm wrench, or two 12mm's, can't remember that either, for adjusting the chain slack. Also an 8mm or 10mm socket to remove the bolts from the front sprocket cover, and a 14mm for the rear sprocket nuts. If you have stock or dual mufflers, there's one nut where the pipe attaches to the header, and the one on the passenger peg.
Post your location, you may be near one of us who have the tools and would gladly walk you through it for free. It's a good thing to know how to do. If you don't have the tools needed, they are worth buying as they will pay for themselves and still save you alot in the long run as opposed to continuing to pay a shop. The service manual is a free download here, and the whole job is very simple.
