The special tools arent that special to be honest.

A mate and a pair of screwdrivers will do most of it.

For a seal driver pop down to B&Q or the like and buy a short length of plastic water pipe, cut off a 75mm length and cut that lengthways in two. Put the two pieces around the fork leg and hold them together with a cable tie then use them as a slide hammer to drive the seal down into the upper leg.

Oh, and to get the inner leg to pull out of the outer leg give it a damn good yank, when that doesnt work, yank it harder.
