Default Fork Rebuild

How hard is to rebuild our forks? I recently had my tires replaced and the tech mentioned that my right front fork was toast. Would this be a good time to convert to an inverted fork set up?

Was it damged or just in need of some care? Then new radial seal (fork seal?) and new oli should do it.

I think it needs a little TLC. I may just rebuild both just to be safe.

Not difficult at all - plenty of how to's - most forks are the same principle.
If you need the manual, look at www.stephygee.com
