Further update,

From my post above about my oil not being dirty, well compared to the new oil, my old oil was really dirty. Anyhow, I changed both of my seals/dust cover sets and everything went fine. Sorry, I didn't have time to take pictures, but it was basically the same as the How to post above.

I do have one really important question, does it really matter which way the seal is seated when installing it. I mean, I looked at it a hundred times each way with the washer flush against the seal like it would be inside the fork tube (this was in my hands before I actually installed the washer, seals and dust cover) and I really wonder if it matters or not. The book lists to insert the seal with the marked side up, which was impossible for me to put back into the fork tube that way. They did come out that way, but I couldn't put them back in that way. I flipped them over and it was still hard to insert them using my homemade seal driver (same from the post above with the home depot part) and I tested my forks by pressing on them and no oil (at least not like it was before with a lot of oil getting onto the fork cylinder) got onto the fork cylinder. After pressing down on the forks a couple of times, it didn't stay 100% dry, but it wasn't really wet either. It was a little oily from them being a little oily from changing them.

Well, I hope that it is not a problem because it would be all of that work for nothing (although after doing the work, it does seem easy).

I'll take some pictures of what the seal looks like and how the slight variance from one side to the other.

Thanks.
