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.
