I've replaced lifters on my old golf before. Its pretty much remove the camshafts, remove the old lifters. Drop in the new ones. replace the cam. It might take a minute after starting up to fully prime the lifters, but after that no more ticking. (making sure for the camshaft you haven't disrupted the positioning on the timing chain teeth or else you'll have bigger problems than ticking) If you haven't done so, may as well replace the timing chain too.
I think for the trouble, you should replace them all if you have the money. Eliminates the problem if you didn't swap the right one, or its just as easy for another one to wear out too, they don't last forever. When I removed the old lifters, I couldn't really tell the difference between a bad one and a good one. Oil was supposed to squirt out of a bad one when squeezed, but its marginal. I have to do the same for the Saab soon, but the lifters are much more expensive, and there's twice the number.
