There's a full guide on here:

It's really not that difficult, once you've done the first one you'll fly through the other fork. I did it over a couple of hours as it was the first time I tackled it but I gave myself the full day. The hardest bit is getting the dampener assembly off but if you can get hold of one of the tools from the guide you'll have no problem although I did use a broom handle. Other than that you can probably manage with basic tools. Having a vice is helpful and some way of propping the front end up is essential (remember a paddock stand won't work).
As with most jobs, the prep is just as important as doing the work.
