I are the confused -- you said you've "put a few in so now its like cake" but you're asking how difficult it is to do? Didn't you just answer your question?

Lets put it this way: the output shaft is the last thing to come out of the case and the first thing to go back in when rebuilding the trans... Simple enough?
