Tend to take mine into a shop, but I bought a kit fro JJB last time I done it and it hasnt been too bad.

9.5mm Diamond tip.
tip glue
Clamp
sandpaper to shape.

Oh and a sharp knife to take the old one off.

Not hard mate.

Cut the old one off, glue the new one on and sand it to your liking

try ELK tips, bit more speacialist may need to go to a proper sports shop not like jjb.

i only use them for pool and snooker occasionally,piece of cake to do just leave it 24 hours after you put the tip on befor using it
