you undo the screw thats under the bottom of the fork leg and the circlip on top of the seal and it pulls apart,
impact driver is the easiest method to undo the screw, after heating it up with a paint stripper gun, or if you haven't access to one of those, you can ram a broomshank sharpened into the shape of the retaining key, down the fork leg!

Slacken the fork caps before you undo anything else, you won't hold them tight enough after they're off the bike. ;-)

Before you go to the trouble of replacing seals try a SEAL MATE I was going to do fazer seals & all they needed was a clean.
See other threads on the subject.
