Cannot say depends on what you feel is difficult.
It will be several hours of work.
Finding the cause is often harder that fixing it.

Try to get the general location of where the squeak originates before opening it up..
It can be a number of things: front glides, rear support rollers, idler wheel, motor bearings.
You will have to open it up and check these for slop/wear.
Might as well also check the belt etc., do an overhaul while you have it opened up.
Give the interior a good cleaning, including the blower wheel.
Also a good time to check/clean you vent system
Here is a manual for this series of dryer which should be useful.
