Shouldn't be to bad. Use PVC pipe to drive the new seals into position.

Re: Fork Oil

How long had they been leaking, and how empty are they?
If it's been doing it awhile, you might need to change out the bushings and everything inside too. Something to keep in mind.

Re: Fork Oil

I'd grab the hardware just in case, most likely it'll need it.
