I don't think there is any because all you do is take your wheel off put the spacer on the hub and then put your wheel back on.

assuming you can take a wheel off, thats all you need to know.
remive the wheel, clean the surfaces, lube them a bit, then lay the spacer on the hub. re-install the wheel.

I was mainly concerned about replacing the longer bolts.

Just make sure the when you install the longer bolts, you have at least 8 turns, and you torque the lug bolts to the proper specs.

Turner Motorsport is the only on line store that I have found that lists the length of bolt needed for various width spacers. Very handy chart. I use spacers and after suffering with one getting stuck on the hub I grease all mating surfaces when installing and they come off nice and easy.
