just finished putting seals in forks.

after removing ft. fender,brakes,wheel,ect. took the bolts from bottom of yoke.
unscrewed top fork caps and the whole spring assy came out.
one person can grab sleeve and pull down a little.
i didn't change my springs. but i think you could make some L brackets
and hose clamps to pull the sleeve down to get to the nuts that lock down the fork cap.
you are suppose to have a rod to screw on the end to control the spring as it comes off.
i would think that a three foot pipe that would fit over the stud still go into the spring would work.
i would not try this alone!
you could take it to dealer should be cheap this way.
if you do it this way when you load spring assy back in,
you won't be able to measure the fluid (89mm). you have to go with 667cc (667ml) fill.
i used a small funnel placed against the sleeve to get the fluid in.
the seals was easy to pull out, just pry out with screw driver be careful not to damage surface,
when you put in new seal just drive it deep enough to get retainer ring in place.
i think that driving them to bottom might be the reason for them leaking.
hope this helps
