The side posts are screwed into the wall surface and once you pull them down, you'll have to fill that surface. The problem is getting anything but white to match correctly and that's what a professional can do for you.

Other than that, it's just a question of lifting heavy doors off the track, popping the top off (I tap it with a rubber mallet), and unscrewing the sides. The bottom track is usually sitting on a bed of caulk, so once you manage to chivvy it off with a thin blade scraper, you'll have to gently scrape the residue off the tub. It's not difficult.
