I hear it's doable but not easy...

Yes, I have done it on a 96. The transmission has to be removed. That's a relatively easy job though on a 4 cylinder, much easier than pulling the engine. Same process on 88-92, they have cast aluminum oil pans that are partially bolted to the transmission.
I believe they had stamped steel oil pans prior to 1988. It might be possible to wiggle that out with the trans in place but I have never tried it.
