I swapped for the Type II bars a couple of weeks ago. It's very easy.
On a scale of one to five (5 being a qualified mechanic) it's a 1.5. Basic tools, no manual needed, no instructions necessary.
I was careful to use towels to avoid scratching anything. I hate scratching things on any bike due to carelessness.
The factory bar-end internal dampeners are easy to remove. They are nothing more than rubber "grommets" held on by friction. After the bolt is removed, they can be pulled out by simple turning, twisting and pulling at the same time.
