It's relatively easy.

If it's your first time I would suggest dismounting the tires. Once dismounted use a blade to remove the silicon in between the 2 barrels (if 3 piece). After just remove the bolts and with a rubber mallet bang the center out in a star motion (same way you mount a wheel). That should help with dis assembly; as for assembly I would suggest taking it to someone who knows how to since the wheels need to be placed on a runout machine so that they're easier to balance. If you choose to do it your self the TQ specs are 18 for the bilnd bolts and 28 for the through bolts.

One thing I did forget; when putting it back together make sure to clean the old silicone residue with either a blade and sand paper and wipe it down with either acetone, or pre cleaner (body shop supply store). Also if you decide to do it yourself make sure to assemble in a star motion to get as close as possible to a perfectly aligned wheel.

Hope that helps
