Default Chrome fork sliders

Anyone have a good method of installing the new fork seal from the bottom of the fork leg vs top down.

I pulled the sliders off now concerned about installing the new seal, this is my 2nd time the left seal is leaking bad.

Remove the bushing and tape the edges or install it from the top so you dont tear it on those edges!

I would install it from the top as well. Make sure there are not burs or anything. Then place the old seal on top of new one then use a 2" piece of pvc and tap it in.
