Since I just did this...
Yes change the fork springs in the process.
If you don't have the fork tool, you will either need to buy it or borrow one.
You'll have to make or buy a seal driver. I made one but wish I would have bought one. The homemade one just doesn't have the mass to drive the seal in, I had to use a mallet on the homemade driver to finish driving it (I didn't like doing that at all) If I have to do it again, I'll buy the driver.
Pulling the lower fork bolt that holds the dampener rod out is tricky as is putting it back in. You'll need a long allen wrench/socket/T-wrench. And you need to order a new sealing washer for this. Don't skimp as it's not easy to fix it if it leaks.
I would say if you're not a wrench but want to do as much as possible, pull the front wheel, fender, and calipers off, then pull the forks out of the trees and take them into he dealer. That should cut your labor costs in half at least.
Another option would be to find someone in your area with the tools and knowhow and work a deal with them to help you.
