I'd just measure your fork diameter (just guessing 1.5" ~ 2.00" ID PVC)

As for the oil, look it up in your shop manual ... please tell me you have a Clymer/Haynes manual.

Special tool ... you may wanna invest in one of these if you cant borrow one from a friend.

This will most likelly be needed along with a metric allen socket to break the screw that is in the bottom of the fork. I was able to break one side by hand but the other we needed the impact driver. The screws use loctite so thats why they are so hard to break and easy to strip the head. Oh, you'll wanna have loctite blue on hand when reinstalling those same screws.

Feel free to do a search under "seal" in this F3 section or the tech section. Both should have great tutorials
