Do what I did.
Go to an engineering workshop and get them to get a bit of pipe with internal diameter just bigger than the fork diameter, and outer diameter just smaller than the lower (or upper if you've hot USDs). The pipe needs to be about a foot and a half long. Then you can grind, file, then sand the edges of the pipe until they are nicely rounded.
Best fork seal driver I ever used. Put the new fork seal in, then put the old one over it, then bang the fork seal in with the fork seal driver and a rubber hammer.

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

You can make one out of PVC pipe if you are desperate.

How do you get the old one out with the stanchion in place?
I was thinking a self tapping screw driven into it...

I don't. I always pull the entire fork unit off the bike, and pull them apart by hand. If you don't completely dismantle them you can't get all the crap out and you end up (IMO) gunking up the cartridges.

+1 why get something else when the old ones do the job nicely!
Don't think self tapping screw is in any way a good planI dissasemble them if possible, but the last set had some star drive fandagled bit you need to shove down it to stop the whatsit (damper rod?) spinning so you can undo the bolt from the bottom. Which I didn't have, so filled it up with oil and push down on it and the seals pop out! Just make sure you have taken the retaining clips out obviously, and push down may require a few hundred kg of force.

Ok, thanks.
The bolt at the bottom is seized and rounded off its going to be a bastard drilling job.
Even if I did get the old one out I'd probably stuff the new one sliding it down the stanchion anyway.
