So, I am replacing the seals on my forks too. Was looking for the best way to drive the seal into place. Stumbled across a you tube video that showed that if you buy one of those white under sink plastic pipes. You just cut them into 2ea 6" long pieces, then slit them down the side so they can be opened, you can just put one on the fork and the other one over the first covering the gap in the inner one. I used 2ea hose clamps to hold it in place on the fork. I used the old seal on top of the new one and slid the fork up and down and used it as a driver. Worked really well for me and can use it for any size fork. Really neat trick and was extremely cheap to make. Pipe, hacksaw, pipe clamps, old seal. You have to make sure to cut the ends off straight. Under the fork seal is a shim that needs to be driven in as well if it is removed. Trick for that is to allow the inner tube to extend about 3/8" lower than the outer and it will drive that in. For the bearing the video recommended allowing the outer tube to extend below so as not to catch the soft part of the seal. I just used the old seal so I wouldn't damage the new seal during driving it in. You could just check the video out for more details but it's an option.
