Replacing fork seals on M600

Hi all,

I am just about to replace the fork seals on my M600 (long overdue)
but have a couple of questions:

1. Is there a foolproof way of supporting the bike. Without a centre
stand, it seems problematic to get the weight off the front wheel

2. Are there any tips / techniques I need to be aware of when
replacing the seals?

Many thanks in advance
