Ps forks are the usual spindly damper rod units, a long threaded rod with a couple 3/8 in nuts welded on the end can be used to disassemble. Punch out the old seals, use a large hex drive to tap in the new oil and dust seals.

Yamaha built them from 1994 to 2004 pretty much unchanged... does that tell you anything.

Oil seals are about $30 bucks...the only other thing you ought to plan for is to rebuild the calipers (oil seal, dust seal and new pads; about $25 per calipe) as these usually seep and either seize or contaminate the pads.
