Anyone know where to purchase fork seal drivers? Specifically I'm looking for a 48mm one...
Getting very frustrated finding decent tools in Canada lately!

I've always done this using a piece of PVC pipe and the old fork seal. If you can't get a piece of PVC pipe that's the exact diameter, just use one slightly bigger and cut a slot out of the length of it so that you can compress it to the slightly smaller diameter needed.
 
If its a proper tool your looking for, Parts Canada Catalog has a RaceTech set:

You can get them at any bike shop that uses parts canada, which is most. As Brian P said, PVC works wonders. I researched mine and found a youtube video showing a guy using the old seals to drive in the new seals with a screwdirver. I tried it and it worked awesome. The video was great and gave me the confidence to tackle the job myself and save a few bucks. The guy was doing the forks in the parking lot on a towel and using a dirty rag to clean everything.

Royal Distributing used to sell them, call them, they might still.
