I did all the research (days of it), bought the parts from z1enterprises.com, then tried one and couldn't get it out. I admit, I didn't try as hard with the forks as I would other things, since they are so delicate.
Then I called my favorite shop and they told me $32 a fork with oil (since I already had the boots and seals). *THAT*, my friend is - as they say - a no-brainer to me....
