Depends on how much you know about engines and if you have the right tools. If you know what your doing, then this is a relatively easy job, but if you are winging it the 1st time, you will have a hard time with it. If you install the rings wrong, well then you will be removing that engine real soon and doing it over. There are 2 sets of rings, oil ring and compression ring. Put the right ring in its place and the engine runs just fine, reverse the rings and .....you will find out what happens next.

If you alredy have the cylinder heads off, try rotating the crankshaft until Clyinder #1 travels to its upmost position and check to see if ring breaks the plane of the block. If not the crankshaft will have to be removed. Note: If you just unbolt the main caps for the crankshaft all of the pistons will come with the crank. Warning!!!- It would be wise to have someone there who has some knowledge of internal combustion engine dynamics for help! Its usually beyond the technical difficulty of the backyard mechanic!
Good Luck!

It is not particularly difficult if you have some mechanical experience. As with many other things, it helps to know what you are doing or be shown and instructed by someone that does. From your question, I would assume you are inexperienced at this procedure.
