How difficult is it to change bulb on a rear projection tv?

My gf family is throwing away a 2002 sony rear projection tv kp57hw40. I heard changing the bulb is as easy as changing the bukbs on your head light. Is that true or is it alot harder than that.

Btw any suggestion where i can get that bulb?

Answer:
Search the net for both the bulb and the info on how to change it.
The bulbs are about $200 to $300
