Seal replacement is fairly straightforward, I think the part number is ST950220 for the seal. You'll want to use a little Silicone grease on the outer part of the seal to install it and I like to pack the area between the seal lips with grease. Each leg takes 300 (+ or -)cc's of 5 weight fork oil. Unless you're familiar with how to re-set the top cap damping adjustment after removal from the damper rod, it's probably best to remove the cartridge/spring assembly as a unit by taking out the "base bolt" from the very bottom of the lower leg. To not damage the seal lips putting it over the upper tube, cut a small triangle off the corner of a plastic sandwich bag and put it over the tube, the seal will slide over it on to the tube easily.
