How easy is it to overhaul a 00' Z1

I'm pretty good with the wrenchs but before I start I would like to know what to expect. I've done RS forks but are Marzocchi forks any more difficult and do you need special tools? I really just want to change the oil and check for wear, they are bottoming out really easily.

Thanks

nothing special, a small flathead, a 5mm wrench, a 26mm (? I use an adjustable..) open ended wrench, and a bucket for the oil.

The zoke manuals are very good and very complete (at least on the older models). download the PDF from their site and you'll have no problems at all.

Also, the seals are WAY hard to get out if you're replacing them. You have to pry a lot harder than you think, and be sure not to screw up the top face of the slider.
