Sage advice all round. I'm on with my forks as of today. Smokes, the $15 shipped price for Orem seals is extraordinary, I was quoted about AU$200 ..
Anyone knows the size of the piston head hex?

im a keyboard warrior

looks like $25 for the oem dust seals. $25 for the bushings, $30 for neck bearings. two bottles of 10wt, 1 tube of grease, $100 for race tech springs, a few beers and a few hours of my time. then i can move onto another project

15/16 is a touch loose but would work. so my guess is 23mm as its the closest metric size smaller than 15/16
