Really? WTF?
1.Use Johnny's bag trick to catch the old oil. works great, no mess. Take your time and tape the bags up so nothing can get by um. Remove the fork drain plugs. Drain the old oil, pump the forks to try and get it all out.
2.
Jack or lift the front end so the forks are fully extended.
Replace the drain plugs, use new nylon washers if ya got um. Be extra careful not to over-tighten the drain plugs, they are known to strip easily.
3.
Remove the spring retainer screws/bolts on the top of the forks , not the filler plugs, the plugs like to strip as well................both of mine where!

Now you need to measure the right amount of fork oil and refill each fork with the proper amount. My forks use different quantities. The trick here is to use a syringe or something that will let you control the flow and pour slowly and not spill or run down the face of the container when you slow down or stop to let the oil draining into the forks catch up. It takes a bit for the forks to fill. Put rags around the top of the fork just in case you spill a bit. I haven't tried um, but a baby bottle is supposed to work well. Or an old cleaned out gear oil bottle with the nipple top. Honda 8-10 fork oil seems to be a fav. around here. Check your o rings on the top of the spring caps retainer.....................if all is all good.

Close um up and ride.
I am with Tim here. I don't think the little o rings hold air, but they do act as dampeners. So you start out with as much air as you can get in fork by extending it, but it will eventually find its own level. Good luck, and I am new here, don't know shit, but, this is how I will do it. Works for me! :riding:
BIZZ
