Help! replace fork seals, selas wont come out

[wildbill]

i read a million threads and i have the tubes in the triple trees clamped. it says to yank the tube and it will separate the top and bottom of the fork tube, yet it wont budge! I even made that tool to remove that hex nut inside the fork tube, but the hex bolt is 16" and isnt long enough to fit down into the bottom of the tube to get at the nut. Please help ASAP.

Remove the circlip that holds the seal in place.
