I have a 1973 TX650 and bought some new fork oil seals (34x46x10mm). I cannot install the seals. The inner diameter of 34mm is correct for the fork tube but the outside diameter is too large to fit in the fork. The fork seal that I removed sat inside the lip just above the inner tube. Any thoughts would be appreciated on what is the correct fork seal dimensions. Thanks, Chris

A quick look shows the 46mm OD as correct.
Um, looking at your pic it's kinda like the steel shell from your old seal is still sitting in the fork leg?
They can be stuck in there pretty darned tight.
