The lower outer ones will just spread slightly and clip around the stanchion. The upper ones need to be driven into the top of the fork lowers with the stanchions etc in place and can sometimes get a bit deformed from being pulled out or driven in multiple times. The lower ones are very easy to put in place.

Any work like that and I'd take it as an opportunity to put in new bushes and fork seals while it's all apart, unless it's already been done recently?
