I could not get a sealmate clone to push through the seal. When I stripped it down it was easy to see why the seals had gone real hard. Do the dust covers at the same time if the sealmate fails. Stripping forks is not a difficult job just time consuming and removing the damper rods can be a problem. I used one of the old seals to push the new ones in place with a piece of pipe . Cost about £13 for seals and £12 for oil. Other info on this site plus y tube vids. I am no spanner monkey but coped ok.
