put the fork in a vise if you have one then push tube all the way down then jerk it out hard.do this until it comes out there is a bushing down there that comes out with the tube.when it comes out it brings the seal with it.

Air?
Be dam sure your standing behind that thing when you do. And point it towards the neighbors house.
I'd give yankin' on it another try first. Sometimes it takes a pretty determined/violent effort to dislodge the bushing. I just think about my x-wife, and that ussually gets me mad enough.....
