    It is easy. You'll be the one answering all these questions next time.

        A couple of tools to make life easier when changing fork seals...

        Those seals are an interference fit and are sometimes very difficult to remove. The odd shaped spring caps are hard to install without cross threading. A tool like above makes it much easier to compress the spring and start the threads on the cap. You'll also need a correct sized socket or similar device to drive in the new seals.
