So I have never done fork seals before. What do I need?
1. Seals
2. Oil
3. Special Tools?
Where can I buy seals? Are they the same as the Husky 45mm's? Want to get all this quickly incase I ride again Sat. or Sun.
How hard is this to do? Anyone have a link to a good guide? |
Check out thumpertalk, there should be plenty links.
I'd replace the bushings as well...depending on how many hours are on the bike.
As for tool, a seal driver would be nice, but you can use a piece of pvc pipe to drive it home.
Get a piece of pvc that is s snug fit to slide down into the tube
(not the slider) you want the pvc pipe to rest on the outer edge of the seal..as not to damage the seal lip.
The pipe needs to be long enough to extend over the slider when compressed.
Use a soft mallet hammer and tap the seal into place.
