Default 1999 TC88 Question

Thinking of buying a 1999 Dyna which has the first year TC88 with 33K on it. I'm concerned about the cam chain tensioners. I haven't looked at it yet or asked about them. If they haven't been changed I've read that at that milage it should be done. How difficult is the inner tensioner to change? Can I do it in my garage? Any advice if the tensioners haven't been inspected or changed meaning should I avoid this bike? Most of the miles have come from long highway trips. Any advice is appreciated.
