I tried it with my 84 650. As Dennis said, you'll need some special tools. You'll need a piece of PVC just slightly larger than the diameter of the tube to drive the seal down into place. Also a special pair of pliers to grab the snap ring under the dust cap to get the old seal out. My buddy and I tried it and I ended up taking my tube to my local shop to have it done. We couldn't get the snap ring out as I didn't have the right pliers...
