    It's not bad at all. I replaced mine when I first got my 85 big red with a set I ordered off eBay. Cost like 40 bucks both bearings and both seals. I put a grand total of maybe an hour and a half into doing. (Granted there was beer involved) the only thing that have me a hard time was getting the old lower bearing off since it was siezed up. Ht it with a grinder on the sides slid the new ones on packed it full of grease and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps even if just a little.
