Indeed not; it's way quicker and easier than a bicycle. Deflate tyre, undo the handful of bolts which hold the 2 halves of the rim together, swap tube, bolt back together, inflate, done. Takes longer to remove the wheel from the aircraft than it does to actually change a tube or tyre!
Ah, no. Its really not that simple. Hence the reason why you really shouldn't be doing it unless you know what you're doing and have the current publication, proper materials,and appropriate tools in hand

At the risk of a fight, please can you explain why? I have a Cessna and have done exactly as shunter describes in 30 minutes with basic tools.
