Not tough from my experience. I don't know about the Nexus hubs with integrated roller brakes and such, but on mine you just release the brakes, unbolt the wheel, and slip the cable end out of its slot on the hub. The cable goes in and out very easily with no tools. No harder than a regular derailleured bike, IMO. Of course, as pointed out earlier, you can just get the tube out with the wheel in the frame.
