Tom,

It's been many years but I don't think it's too bad. Getting the
transmission out and back in is the hard part, and that's not that bad. The
worst part of that I recall is getting the clutch bracketry off and it
helps to have help lowering the transmission to the ground. Once it's out,
I think any old seal puller will do. Driving it back in can be a challenge,
don't recall what I used but I found something lying around that worked or
else used hole saws to make a wooden donut to do the job with it and a pipe
slipped over the input shaft. This was on a waterboxer which I assume you
have.
