Default Fork Seals

I just spent a whopping $14.02 on fork seals for my 98 Lowrider but I forgot to get or even ask how much oil goes back in after I change the seals. Anybody know off the top of their head how much oil to put back in.

Well, I got one apart but can't figure out how to get the old seal out. Can't afford a manual at the moment so does anyone know how the old seal comes out?

&nbsp\\;Make sure you have the 6mm bolt out of the bottom of the leg i just yank down on the lower leg till the leg comes off than you can remove the seal by sliding it down off the fork tube

Thanks for all the help folks. I found out about the 6mm in the bottom and popped them right out. Put in the new ones and so far no leaks and my front end hasn't fallen off yet, lol.
