I ordered some bikemaster fork seals for my Special. Thes seals measure a little over a MM larger than the bore they are going into. I have destroyed the seals so far trying to get them to press in. Has anyone had problems with these. I have ordered the leakproof seals for it, because i have had good luck with them. These seals say they are 49MM.

Special seals are a different size than Standard seals. You apparently have tried to force the larger Standard seals in the Special fork leg which will not work.
Standard Fork Seal - 37X49X8
Special Fork Seal - 37X48X10.52H7 (79) owned since '89
3H3 owned since '06

+1........Special and Standard forks are two different sizes and IIRC two differnt manufacturers(KYB and Showia)
. Best in fork seal cases, stay with OEM, but know that no longer may be possible associated with the Special forks.
