Super-easy, as long as you are replacing it with another unit of similar size.
Quick Connects + Pipe cutter.. all you need :)

2 water connections, 1 gas connection. Be sure to use pipe dope on the threads of all 3. Don't use thread tape, especially on the gas line- you don't want a shred of it to get loose in the gas system.
Don't forget your damn permit...
Really a permit for something you already have? Why, do you think they are going to look at the computer info on your house when you sell it and say "Wait this house shouldn't have a water heater"? They can go pound sand if they think they need "extra" tax dollars for maintenance and up keep on my home.
Increase the vent size to 4" and change the single wall wye to double wall. Replace the gate valve with a quarter turn shut off, both flex connectors, change the gas ball valve to a hand turn 1/4 turn shut off and a flex connector. If it's on wood floor or a finished basement put it in a pan and pipe it to the drain. Oh yeah and make sure it has a t&p pipe no more than 6" from the ground.
Pull a permit. Yah yah I know govt takes too much this and that, it's $40 or less and piece of mind if you have to go head to head with the insurance company.
Easy peasy.
