Fork seal driver

Post by skinnydog0_0 » Mon Mar 21, 2011 8:47 pm

Hi All,

What do you guys use as fork seal drivers? i don't fancy spending £30 on one that i may only use a couple of times. Or is it one of those essential tools that you need?
Thanks in advance.

Blue plastic drain tube, works a treat. I used 48mm OD, 44mm ID. Just sand the cut ends well before use. Saves fishing specks of bright blue plastic out of the seal area. :whistle:
