I found that Athena fork seals are the best for the 600. They are made for the forks and not for rotation. I fitted Pyramid and genuine ducati fork seals and they both leaked.
www.athena-ad.com is their website. ebay 250534158459 David |

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. |

I have never used any special tools. I found that a screw (sorry dont know the thread size) and a piece of wire to pull on was enough to pull the inner leg which the c clips fit onto was a great help.
It is worth getting a veneer caliper to help you measure the oil rather than go on the cc as there is always some oil left in the forks David |

What Crust said - and the Ducati seals are not usually ever a problem - we've used them on the racebikes from 600's upwards. Make sure they are done properly!
