Hey Pat,
Romeo from the Rogue Riders shared a tip he discovered when doing his seals. He was having a hard tip installing the new seals, he used the lowersections as a slide hammer to remove the seals, so when he installed the new ones, he again used the lowers as a slide hammer to install the new ones. I believe you just need to remove the fork caps in order to do this. Good luck if you haven't finished it yet.
Got er done as described, thanks
