Are you doing it properly? With the tube fully inside the slider you pull it out quickly so that the bushes strike the oil seal in a hammering motion. Keep doing this until it's out.

It might help to clamp it in a vice. Clamp the slider (lower) not the tube, and use a couple of bits of wood to prevent damage.

yeah thanks for the extra tip there bud i also found it helps if you remove the other Allen bolt out the bottom as well lol luckily didn't damage the forks so all good once again thanks for your help mate , one other question though i wanted to start a thread for my project do i do it in the cbr section or general members bikes pictures ?

I think you need to be a site supporter to post your own thread in the members' bikes section. It's £10 for one year - if you don't want to do that then just put it in here.

HOW DO I BECOME A SITE SUPPORTER AND PAY MY £10?
