how hard is it to learn to weld?
Not hard at all. Welding is one of those things that are incredibly easy on paper but is difficult in practice. The best advice that I can give you is to either buy a small, cheap welder and practice, take a class or borrow a welder...

I could explain the theory of welding but you really need to get the stinger in your hands and go for it! There are innumerable videos and books on the subject. You may even be able to get someone from the motor pool to help you out.
