your forks have bushings one under the seal one low down on the stanchion
you need to slam bang them a part,the lower bushing will catch the upper bushing and all the force will then drive the seal out,it wouldn't hurta thing and proly help a bit to heat up the top of the slider around the oustside of the seal area

Stupid question #67.....

You've removed the damper bolt, right?

EDIT: Nevermind - I can see the damper rod in the bucket in the background...
