Thats a supported upgrade-path as there was no version 8.1 for the 5510.

1) (skip this step if you are really brave) read the release-notes to find changes that could have a negative impact on your network

2) Load a new ASDM into flash and make it active.

3) Load the new image into flash, set the image as boot-image (it's done automatically if you use the Update function from ASDM)

4) Reload your ASA.

These updates ran smooth in the past for my upgrades.

You can use the actual ASDM 6.4.9.103 which will run with both of your versions ASA 8.0 and 8.2.
