    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...

        Fork cap installation tool made from a 2X2 ↓



        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.
