The ride height does not need adjusting when you replace the spheres, the LHM may need topping up and you'll need to bleed the system (search the forum from citrobatics). Changing spheres has been covered numerous times on this forum, so have a search!

Citrobatics: Basically, go from low to high suspension settings 5 or 6 times, to get the fluid pumped round the system.
Sphere's are easy, once you get them loose. A proper sphere removal tool is a good investment.
