Is it easy to do Wood Fills on your guitar?? (pics)

[StrangeDay]

I'm changing the bridge on my Tele, and the posts for the new bridge are spaced a little further apart.

Anyway, I have to wood fill the holes where the screws used to be (in the pic) to make new holes for the new Schaller Roller Bridge.

It seems like doing the wood-fills would be pretty easy. I'm going to take my guitar to the repair shop to have the new Schaller bridge installed, but I thought I could save some money if the wood is already filled in.

Tips on wood-filling guitar bodies, please Thanks!!
