Fork seals are pretty easy, especially if RWU with no damping adjustment, as per the SV.

You will need a seal driver, dont try use anything else. I have a 43mm one you can borrow, it may work for slightly smaller forks.

Easily done in a day, if nothing goes wrong and you have everything you need. If high mileage, you may have to change the bushes as well.

For peace of mind use genuine oil seals, you can get away with aftermarket dust seals.
