Paid a visit to the local motorcycle mechanic. Even he was impressed by how hard it was to get the seals out, but they are FINALLY out. Best $20 I've ever spent.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Haha; there's nothing like the look of dumbfoundedness on a new-start's face when he/she realises that the workshop doesn't have the fancy kit they were trained on. Some of them go on to become really good mechanics after they learn some old-school methods.

Tryed every prying tool I own. No luck. and yup taking a propane torch to the inner top ring on the fork lower and they slid right out. No bubbling of clear coat and no scratches
Actually I just had my first stubborn fork seal on a fork that I am refinishing anyway so I tried a torch on it and was surprised how little heat it took. The fork was only really warm when the seal slid out. You could still grab fork by the lip with your hand and it was only u comfortably warm.
