This is a whole day job kind of a thing, and it's not necessarily hard but if you're not used to getting your hands dirty, don"t do it !!!! (its helpful to have a a buddy to help you but it not necessary) Here is a DIY video that gives you a better idea (just a suggestion, make sure you have sockets that are flexible, because some of the bolts are hard to reach area and you will need multiple size extensions and swivel sockets).

Also there are few other gaskets you should change while you are doing this (I can supply you with the part numbers if you are going to do this project) Im here to help if you need anything

Thank you very much, any other things you recommend to do would be greatly appreciated. Im moving the car into storage this weekend, and then will start looking more into acquiring the parts
