Pretty much like Tim sez. Need "snap-ring" pliers to remove the snap ring above the seal. Some dampener rods are held in with an allen screw accessed from the bottom after the axle is removed. If the dampener rod just spins when you remove the bolt, try an air wrench while the lower fork leg is held in a vice and you attempt to pull the upper leg out. This will keep you from buying the special tool to hold the rod.
After that, you can pull the upper leg from the lower. If the seal does not pry out easily, heat the area with a propane torch. Use the old seal as a driver for the new seal.......I'm doing this today on my ST-1300....
