T350: Level of difficulty in doing crank seal rebuild

I am trying to estimate level of difficulty in doing crank case seals replacement on T350.
Reasons being not able to find a repair shop nearby, curiosity etc.

on my other bike, GT500 I was able to find out missing spark problem and correct it.
I was able to get it running from non-running condition.
I have rebuild carbs, cleaned oil pump, repaired oil pump lines etc..

But not sure I will be able to replace crank seals. I think I will decide based on what experts here have to say,
and how easy/cheap it is to get it from outside repair shop ( if I there is one near me )

thanks.

The crankshaft needs to be pressed apart to replace the inner seals,this is beyond my ability,it is best left to a professional.
For a twin I pay between $300 - $600, I split the cases and remove crankshaft, not a terribly hard job,and you learn the working of everything, just don't spill the transmission gears!
I don't know what a shop charges to remove crank, but I don't think it is cheap.
