Is replacing a tub/shower combo DIY'able (self.homeimprovement)

Homeowner with a decent amount of handiness but wondering if I’m going to bite off more than I can chew. Is it worth it to try and remove the old shower tub combo and replace it with a new one pretty much by myself? I realize this is a bit of a loaded question and can’t really be answered without knowing my skills but if anyone with skills can share some tips or steer me away from attempting this that would be much appreciated.

Get a gym membership for shower usage just in case. There are many things that can balloon the project, father in law and I did his over a couple weeks, I wouldn't put a "solid weekend"timeline on things. If it's your only bathroom, be prepared for alternative showers, but it is definitely something a layman should be able to do.
