You'll need a fork compressor. It'll cost your $100+, about what a dealer charges to do the same job, provided you bring them just the fork legs.

You can do it Yourself if You take some time. Here is an old link to a writeup I made years ago. Now I have custom made compressor, but it can be done without it. And if You do it every year - as You should - the 100$ isin't that big deal either.
