Default Fork seals help

I have a 2011 Ec300 and the fork seals have started to leak, i have been told that just taking them apart and cleaning the seals might stop them leaking as dirt gets in there.

My forks are the marzocchi forks with the ohlins ttx inserts.

Ive watched loads of Videos online on how the strip front forks to replace the seals.
Ive also looked through the gasg service manaual but as not standard im not 100% sure on a few things.

My questions are what is the best way to strip the forks and what order?

What weight fork oil to use?

Also what Airgap/ how much oil?

Thanks for the help in advance.
Ryan

If your just going to clean the seals, you don't have to disassemble the fork. Motion pro and Risk Racing both make a little tool to do it. I've also used playing cards before.

feeler gauge they work well, just pop the dust seal of and run it round the seal hopefully that will work
