Trailer bearings

So I just bought a new (used) Sea Ray 180. Nice boat, but the trailer needs some work. Including in the work is new trailer bearings and fix the brakes. Is replacing the trailer bearings hard to do? The brakes are going to get fixed by a mechanic, but if I can do the bearings...I'd rather. How does one do this and what tools are required. Any and all help would be helpful.

Thanks everyone!

David
