It's a fairly simple job. Get a manual and follow it, takes a little time(Sat afternoon) but isn't high tech. Now that the search function is back, you might get details from a search for 41 mm seals. The biggie is keeping pressure on the top caps as you remove them, there is some spring tension on them and you don't want to screw up the threads by popping them off.
