    changing front fork seals

    I'm going to attempt to change the front fork seals on my 1981 cb750c. Any secrets? I have the repair manual but it doesn't really show me anything other than the obvious. Any special tools or tricks? Will I need to "lift" the front end to get clearance to remove the forks?
