I fitted a set of Marzocchi bombers to my mates bike the other week, never done it before in my life but it was suprisingly easy!
YOu'll need a set of allan keys, a hacksaw to trim the stem to the right length, a hammer and a small flat blade screwdriver and maybe a piece of wood.
check out this link, explains what's involved.
Hope this helps.
