If you have the correct tools to remove and re install a fork seal then yes, you can do it.

If you have to ask "which tools do I need", then Id rather suggest you see your dealer to sort it out for you. It is a relative straightforward job but it is a precise job requiring specific tools that the average mechanic do not have.

The only special tool I needed was a RaceTech seal driver, and I'm not sure if I actually needed it but I bought one anyway when I rebuilt my Showas on my ST2 with RaceTech valves, no other special tools needed.

You are probably in for seal replacements, but you can take a shot by using a piece of camera film. Slide it under the mating surface, work it around the fork tube and see if you can improve the seal.

how much does it cost to get the seals replaced at a dealer?

Take the forks off yourself, it's MUCH cheaper! $60/a side!
