Support the bike. Take the top off the fork leg. Pull the spring out. Put new spring in. Replace the top. Ride the bike.

Thats about it put simply. You might want to change the oil too. There's a drain plug at the bottom.

I fitted progressive WP fork springs
and one of cocktail fork oil on My PD.
Worked well.
Remember that left and right fork leg take different amounts.
