Tools
-Screwdriver(s) to remove your current PUs and mount the EMGs in the rings
-Wrench (or wtf it's called. a thing to untighten nuts with) to remove your current pots from the guitar, and replace them with the new ones. (Not needed if your current pots are the same as the ones you get)
-Soldering iron and solder (I guess that's the name. the stuff you use with the soldering iron)
I've heard bad things about soldering irons/guns near magnetic devices (such as pickups), so I'd suggest you keep your PUs a fair bit away from the iron at all times when the iron is connected. It's not difficult to do the installation if you've got some experience of soldering. Just remember to do the work properly, avoid spilling solder on the body and so on. Be careful not to damage anything.
I installed a set of EMGs in my KE3 a few months ago, took me 2h (from 01:00 to 03:00 in the night, took so long mostly because I was tired), and everything went fine. I do however have a good deal of experience of soldering.
So, I'd say, if you feel afraid of it and are not in extreme lack of money, take it a tech. If you feel confident about it, DIY.
Good luck
