It's easy enough if you are able to get the chassis on stands. You need a jack that goes high enough.

As long as you've got the same axle, pre and post vvt (without Nd with ABS) have different ratio diffs, should be an easy swap.

When I switched my front axle tube it ought to have taken me a full day but that was everything off stripped and cleaned, it took longer though as I was miss sold the tube off an automatic transmission car so had to have it re machined to suit my differential. Tbh it's not a bad job it's all just spanners and sockets assuming you have the right replacement parts.
