How hard is it to bleed hot water baseboard pipes? I know it's something on the heater. My baseboard heat pipes are full of air and my dear dear husband refuses to bleed them cause he says the water is too hot.

Maybe watch a YouTube video? You can learn pretty much anything on there.

Watch a video. I think it is different for every system.
Look for how to get rid of water hammer in pipes

I've never bled baseboard heat, only radiators. Radiators are easy. I'd agree with the suggestion to check you tube. Turn off the furnace first and wait a bit if the water is too hot.

I've done it many times. I don't know how old yours are, but ours have a special key in some rooms. The ones in remodeled rooms just need a screwdriver. When I bleed them, I slowly turn the key/screwdriver as it will slowly release the air and you won't have a geyser. When the hot water starts to trickle out, I stick a bath towel on the floor and over the spot where the water comes out. Just drain until there's no more air coming out. Easy to do and you won't get scalded.
