Remove the spring first through the top then normally there’s a bolt that goes up through the bottom of the leg. Undo that n the tube should slid out. May also be a C - clip in the top holding the seal down tho.
Use a hooked driver to flip the old seal out.
Tap the new seal back in, but making sure it goes in square without to much force!
(Lightly oil it)
Good luck

As Wyn said there is a bolt holding it in at the bottom (prob).Lift the seal out that you can see at the top (the dust seal) and you will find a "c" clip.Thats easy to get out.When thats all off,tip the fork upside down and get the old oil out then "bang" it on something soft to get the oil seal out.good luck mate.
