The homemade tool pulled alot of junk out of the dust seal and a tiny little bit of residue from the oil seal. I had to pump the forks a lot to reseat the oil seal. There was some oil loss but I'm not concerned about the amount of oil that was lost.
I fell a little bad for blatantly copying the sealmate tool, i have no problem buying one for $5.00 but I did not want to wait a week or so for shipping.
I will give an update in a week or so if it's fixed or leaking. If my tool worked I will be more then happy to sell it for $4.89 :-)
