I need to change the oil seal in the front forks.

I 've already replaced the oil but as I didn't change the oil seals, most of it must have leaked.

Springs are within specifications.

I remember that I couldn't remove the oil seal. I also couldn't unscrew the bottom part of the fork, because It needed a rod handler and a Tbar.

I 'm thinking that I dont have to use this tool, and that I could just remove the oil seal by cutting it. (taking care not to damage the forks)

Does anybody know if this method is ok? I should also place the new oil seal by softly hammering them with a tool that could do the work. I don't have the special tool needed for the placement of the seals.
