How push down dustseals without destroying them?

Hi,

Have anyone got any tip on how to push down the fork dust seals?

I usually use a knife and a screwdriver but I figure it must be a better tool for this?

Tiny screwdriver works well. If you are careful you should not risk damaging them really.

On the Yamaha it worked well but on the WP CV fork it doesnt becaus they are much harder to get out.

The seal mate pulls them down from the inside

I use a small flat head to slip between the fork and the seal then pry it down. I lightly coat the part that slides in with SF3 seal grease.
