Easy to do, but get the right tools. The longer the tyre lever the easier the job will be, get levers with a curl in the end. Have look at http://www.bits4bikes.co.nz/tools/tyre-wheel/905.aspx part number MP080007 for a good lever. Get some one to show you how to do the first tyre as there are a few tricks that make things easier. if you are doing road bike tyre buy some rim protectors to protect the paint on the edge of the rim, once again http://www.bits4bikes.co.nz/tools/tyre-wheel/905.aspx part number TM20.
I have been wondering that myself, need to change tyres on my track bike and don't want to fork out $60 - $95 each time I want to change the tyres. Saw a few pages on changing them yourself.

Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.
I used to do them back in the olden days. Still have the levers but can't be arsed these days. I get the shop to do 'em - they balance them better than I can too. Stick it on the credit card and hope I can pay it off one day...
