You should be able to do it for $50. Seals + fork oil + puller. Fork oil is around $10 for a quart and that's plenty for both sides.
You might call some of your local tool rental places to see if they will rent a motorcycle head stand. That would be the best, but if not, then there are other ways explained in other posts that will get the job done too.
I personally like my jack stand method as illustrated below. If the radiator supports aren't as strong as the pregen, you can still take most of the weight off with a jack under the engine. The jack stands on both sides keep it stable.
