Super easy. I did mine yesterday with a cast on my right wrist (and I am right handed). 43mm seal driver and a thin 21mm wrench (i think) and you're golden. If you've changed a fork seal on an USD fork, you'll have no problem.

While the cartridges are out, you might want to inspect the midvalve/checkplate shims. If the stock valving was changed it may have a lighter shim setup in there, which means more stress on the shims in this fork. The face shim gets beat due to the high flow through the piston, first cup and then crack. Easy to do. Just unscrew the plastic spring guide and the damper rod assy will drop out the bottom of the cartridge.
