Delboy's Garage, How-To replace regular type fork seals.
I used this for reference when doing my 600 and the thou won't be significantly different I imagine. Its worth doing the seals and oil, replacing the spring is completely up to you, but is easy enough considering the rest of the work
I had a few issues with the damper rod bolts being stuck and ended up buying a wooden broom handle from Homebase, soaking one end in water (for more resistance / friction) and putting the fork leg upside down on top of the broom handle. Got them off that way in the end
