1990 fj... help on front fork seals

I have a 1990 fj1200 that I need to replace my fork seals on.  Sadly my "book" is mostly useless.  This is my status:

I have removed the forks from the bike.  I have removed the top caps from the forks and pulled out the spring and drained the oil.

I have removed the dust cap and the clip that is holding the seal in place.  Now what?  I was thinking that the forks were like Goldwings and I could unscrew the tubes and remove them.  Wrong.

Any help, guidance and suggestions are appreciated.
