Very easy. Also a good idea to change the pilot bearing while you're there.
Pop the old seal out witha screwdriver or something. Be careful not to scar/scrape the crank/block. Install the new by carefully and evenly tapping it in with a rubber hammer or PVC pipe if you have the right size.

From summit:
FEL-BS40520 Chevrolet: 4.3L/5.0L/5.7L, one piece, rear main seal $22.39
FPP-2900 Rear Main Bearing Seal, Chevrolet V6 & V8, Each $9.50
Which one do I need? Im guessing its the more expensive one.
EDIT:
Looks like the more expensive one has a couple pieces to it:
