Front Fork Seal Replacement

What's the best DIY tool for installing the front fork seals on a Road King? Swapping the stock forks for the chrome units on Saturday. I've already removed the old units and was planning on using a piece of PVC to tap in the new seals. 2" too big and 1-1/2" not big enough. A plumber friend suggested using a 1-1/2" coupler.

What have you used?

Thanks!

I used the old seal and a wooden dowel to tap it in. BE SURE YOU OIL THE FORKS BEFORE YOU SLIDE THE SEAL DOWN. Ask me why. Good luck
