Hoping someone may have some tips for removing a fork seal from a '97 VTR. The bike hadn't been used for many years and I'm slowly working over it to make it into another track bike.
The fork dust seals had completely perished and the metal bits of the seals themselves are badly corroded. There was so much rust and corrosion that I couldn't see the fork seal retaining clip at first but managed to find and remove them from both forks. I managed to get one out after a helluva lot of heaving on the fork stanchion with both hands and the bottom of the fork leg clamped in a vice with the axle butting up against the vice to prevent it from slipping out of the jaws.
However, the same treatment for the second leg has so far yielded no result. I flooded the top of the seal with WD40 and left it for a couple of days, gently heated the top of the fork leg and still no movement of the old seal. The fork stanchion is now starting to bind on something inside and thinking maybe I'm deforming the bushes with all the force I've been putting them under to try and move the seal.
Here's a photo of the seal that I managed to get out:

and here's the one that is still stuck:

Any ideas anyone?
