fork seals

RE: fork seals
Fork seals are not a bitch, much simpler than an engine removal anyway.
Get a manual and simplay start disassembling the front end. All you'll need to drive the seals is a length of PVC (prolly 2 1/12 - 3ft), that fits around the tube. You'll want the PVC to be less than a 1/4" in thickness.
After you remove the tubes, start brakeing them down, keeping one tube in tact until you're re-building the next one. That way if you get stumped, there is a perfect tube you can look at. It's all pretty self explanitory on how to use the seal driver. It's simple. Really.
The first time I ever did it, it took me about 2 hours to rebuild the first fork (no proper driver), the second one took me probably 7 minutes.
