I agree with Ross.  It has to be the middle bushing that jams things up after it has freed up from its seat.  I think the lower bushing gets inside the middle one and expands it, limiting the force you can get to the upper bush.  Never had a lick of trouble on any regular two bushing forks, and Ive done many.


The seal itself shouldnt be much trouble to wrangle out of there (destructively).  Its getting that upper bushing to move thats the trick.  If you get the seal out of the way you can get some penetrating oil on the upper bushing, that and the heat should help get things moving.
