A quick search on YouTube and you would have found that there's a video showing how to do it step by step...

You can decide for yourself if it's hard to do.

Unlike the iPhone 4, where the back cover is removable from the rest of the phone, the back cover of the 3GS is the "chassis" of the phone. You can't remove the back from the rest of the phone, you need to remove every single component of the phone, starting from the front, until you've stripped the back case of the phone. It's the hardest part of the phone to change. It is do-able, but it may not be a good idea if you don't have a fair amount of experience with miniature electronics, connectors and lots of tiny screws. The procedure is here.

You must gut the phone and the back cover is glued to the chrome bezel. Recommend you change the bezel anyway too.
