It's been done nicely already:

Reply:A ZR? That bridge can do wonders. However, this is probably the most complicated bridge to replace your strings. I have a ZR on my S320.Before you do all of this, do a dive bomb (without playing the string) on the bridge, HOLD IT WHEN YOU GET DOWN!, and put a AAA battery under the bridge. This will keep it level while changing strings. Before inserting new strings, oil the fretboard if you have any lemon oil. Don't oil a maple fretboard though.The nut and saddles should still be unclamped. Now, remove the first string you will be putting on from the package. Snip the ball end of the string off using your string cutters. Now insert one end of the string into the corresponding saddle. Screw in the saddle until it is fully clamped on the string. Now, insert the string into the locking nut and pull through. Wrap the string around the tuning post as you normally would and tighten until it's in the area of being somewhat in tune (don't bother tuning precisely yet). Repeat this process with every string. After all the strings are on and in the range of tuning, remove the AAA battery you placed under the bridge earlier. Now tune up the strings one at a time. Because of the Zero Point system, tuning of one string won't change as drastically as it would on a normal Floyd Rose. You still will have to tune several times until the strings are balanced with one another. After you are in tune (the nut should not be clamped yet) take a look at the bridge. Is it level with the body of the guitar? If not, then take your allen key to the back of the guitar. See the little silver thing? Screw that in to increase tension on the bridge and to bring it into the body, or unscrew it to relieve tension and make the bridge come out of the body more (how convenient). You'll want the bridge to be as level as possible, so tune after each time you make the bridge level (String tension affects the bridge's leveling out).

After the bridge is level and your guitar is in tune again, screw the clamps on the nut until they are locked down. Now, adjust the tuning with the fine tuners. You will have to retune several times using the fine tuners for the strings to be balanced and in tune. If you find that the find tuners cannot screw in or unscrew any more, unclamp the nut and screw the fine tuner up or down until it has sufficient room to move. Then, retune with normal tuners, reclamp the nut, and adjust the tuning with the fine tuners. Hopes this helps, This method is probably the fastest you're gonna find it.
