The first time you do it, it can take a bit of work, but it's quite easy. The tricky bit is with the shim behind the screen, getting it to stay in place, or go back in place. The screens come with a tweezer for holding the screen, but I'd recommend getting another tweezer for replacing the shim when it falls out. Also, invest in powder free gloves before you start.
I could replace the screen for K10D and I've hit the mark - it was properly aligned. Not so for K-7. When my co-worker and I set out to shim K-7 for Katz Eye screen I realized that three hands were necessary for the process...
In principle, if at all possible, I wouldn't advise trying such procedure unless one has experience and skills working with really small and really fiddly bits. Fortunately, local Pentax service is very cooperative on these matters, and frankly, having spent in excess of USD 1,000 on a camera, I'd gladly spend another USD 50 on this fiddly bit.
