I checked the Tech Folder but I don't see any so I found you a couple. I actually have the tubing in my office which I ordered based on the information in one of these threads months ago, I may just have to do a detailed write up when I get it done. There are some pictures in these and some parts lists. Here is one person's "items to get" list.
Here's what I used:
-3/8"O.D. 1/4" I.D. clear vinyl tubing
-50' fiberglass fish tape (you can use a steel one just make sure the end is not too big as to damage the door seal)
-spray bottle full of very soapy water.
-a sharpie(to mark the bends of the door seal)
-a good pair of scissors
-electrical tape
-and about 3 beers!! (per door)

Out of curiosity, why the sharpie for marking the bends in the seal? I just pulled mine all the way through, no marking required.
Just did mine with 3/8 latex tubing from Home Depot and some silicone spray for lube. Took about an hour to do all four working by myself. Got creative with a C-clamp and the fence to make it happen working solo.

I marked the door jamb at the point where the seal began/ended. When I re-installed the seals the seal was going back in it's original position. The seals appeared to have taken form to the door after 13 years.It may have been unnecessary but I am a little fastidious about my workmanship. I didn't see the need to mark each bend since I was replacing in the same configuration.
I used tubing longer than the seal and trimmed off the excess after it was pulled through.

This. Definitely. Haha. Gotcha now bud 
My door jams were dirty enough to easily see where the seal started and ended
