it's not involved at all. in fact, it's very easy. 

twist off the bottom cover, remove a few screws to move fan to access
old drive, pull out old drive, put in new drive, put back screws and
fan.

the entire process is about 10-15 minutes.  

the only tricky part is getting the new drive to seat properly.
