Bent Turbo Fins?

Hey everyone, I'm looking at buying an '01 Powerstroke. The current owner had the turbo replaced at a local shop about a year ago. He tells me that 3k miles after, the turbo sucked in a piece off the air cleaner and bent some fins on the compressor wheel. So when the turbo spools it sounds like a wood planer. (I have audio if that helps.) If that were the case, is a compressor wheel swap a fairly easy job? Do I need special equipment or tools?

Thanks!
