Make sure you buy the full kit, including all the bolt gaskets. Its quite easy to do, make sure you put plenty of cloths down below the head to stop excess oil dripping on the headers.
workshop manual can be found here :

IIRC the bottom back bolt is a pain as a ratchet clashes with the chassis leg. So you have to use an open ended spanner on this one.
