It depends on what your perception of difficult is. I did mine by myself on jack stands in my garage, I thought it was easy but time consuming.
There are numerous write-ups available, perform a forum search on clutch replacement. Plus there is always the service manual, even with a forum write-up I believe having one for this job is essential.

The clutches are not very difficult to do. You can diassemble the complete diff EXCEPT the pass side clutches. That side clutches can be removed using Kent Moore tool # J42162 and a press.
It helps if you have the right tools and holding fixture.
The pass side clutches are in the carrier just below the ring gear.
Also, make sure you get 2 wave washers when you do the clutch swap because they ALWAYS break!!! This is important since they preload the clutches.
I upgraded the left side shaft to C6 Z06 unit while I was in there.
All assembled and ready to go.
