I have a set of new oem battery cables. I am just wanting to know how hard is it going to be to install them?
Any tips or trick I should know when I do put them in?

That, and you want good contact with the chassis grounds. Clean spots where the cables contact the chassis down to bare metal (about the size of a postage stamp, centred on the attaching screw. Use a wire wheel) and apply corrosion inhibitor on assembly (find that in your hardware store's electrical section. It will say "corrosion inhibitor" on the pack - you are not RPT NOT to use WD-40, "liquid electrical tape," or any other compound that isn't designed for the job. Period.) Replace the screws as required - they tend to be M8-1.25x20m/m or so.
Its way hard you take out the old one and put in the new one. One at a time until they are all dune. I could send my old lady to show you how but she is bare foot in the kitchen
