It's not that hard.
The most difficult part is that the tabs on the top and bottom of the duplex outlet that normally are used to screw the outlet into the in-wall box need to be bent back to a 90 degree angle. There's just not enough clearance inside the PP case to accommodate those tabs sticking up/down. I have a bench vise, so I put them in the vise and bent the tabs back. You could cut those tabs off with a hacksaw, but after paying $$ for them, I couldn't justify cutting them up when bending was as effective and a lot easier to do, and reversible.
After dealing with the tabs, just get your phone out and take pics after you get the cover off before you do anything so you know how it all goes back together. After that, be sure to DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES. There really is minimal disassembly after that needed to swap the outlets. Once you're in the innards of it the biggest problem is that the wire leads daisy-chaining the outlets together have very little slack in them. Yes, it's a bit fiddly, but just take your time and before you know it, you're done and enjoying your work.
I'm no EE and not the handiest with tools, so if I can do it, I'm sure you could too.
