I read the manual and it seems fairly straightforeward. What are you having issues with?
ensure you are grounded before handling computer parts.
remove your motherboard from the case if it is installed.
remove the plastic from the base of the cooler
secure the proper brackets to the bottom of the cooler. straight ones for AMD, bent ones for Intel
apply paste to the cooler
fit the cooler onto the motherboard through the mounting holes, while holding the cooler in place flip the motherboard and secure the cooler using the spacer plate and the nuts.
install motherboard and cooler into case
reassemble the system, plug in the fans, and boot the system

I am probably gonna have problems with re-wiring the motherboard - will it be hard?

you have a cell phone right? take a few pictures of the motherboard before you do anything. you will have a visual reference.
pictures being worth many words. take good pictures of the motherboard panel header, the power switch/reset/hdd led's area. make sure you can put them back, the leds won't work if connected backwards.

it's not hard at all, just nerve wracking the first time.

Thanks a lot. My phone is rarely charged, is there any other way?

diagram the board (rough drawing) note where the cables are. label the cables with tape if needs be.
like I said the most confusing can be the front panel header. make sure those wires can go back and you should be fine.
