SPOOKY :!: I've spent most of the afternoon fighting with my Judy SL's. Bought a Judy bushing removal tool from Xesh a couple of weeks ago along with some bushings, the ones with the 20mm lower and 10mm upper, from CRC.
Not the easiest of jobs, firstly the dust wipers didn't want to come out without making a mess of the paint despite using a fine headed screwdriver with the tip covered in tape. Then the old bushings refused to budge until I employed the old Dead Blow Hammer (hammer with head wrapped in insulation tape) much relief when the first one popped out soon followed by the others.
The new bushings have something like a Teflon inner surface, lightly greased the bushings and using a socket and extension bar lighty tapped the lower bushings into place. The upper bushing when put in place seemed to be too big, so a quick bit of filing removed the excess and they slipped in snuggly with a couple of taps of a socket and hammer. Greased it all up and assembled the forks, no more play, flipping brilliant. An afternoon well spent.
Kev you can borrow the tool if you want, I'll be at Chicksands on Thursday.

The Englund units have adjustable damping built in, confused me at first. You can borrow the tool no probs.
