Hi guy
a noob question do i need to dismantle front forks
to put new fork seals in

can you slide new seals down stanchion and pop
them in cheers

you need to take them apart to get the old seal out, drain and replace the oil while your there.

you need a proper tool (fork seal driver) or something made to replicate the proper tool to put the seals in also else youll destroy them.

There is an easy guide for this on youtube.

Alternatively search for it on youtube. Here is the search description.

Hi. How did you experiance the refit of your forks? Any tipps you would luike to share? I took mine off this weekend and will have to have them re-chromed as they are badly pitted... Also did you retemper or stretch your springs again as they colapse with age. I am not very cumfy with the idea of placeing spacers in there to try and stiffen the suspension.

I will start tacleing them tomorrow. I hope to send and share some pics.

Cheers

Hi. I started doing my forks this week and will send them in for chroming soon. Will be quite costly though.
