fitting fork seals
flange replied to Chadatious's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
Only things i would add is as said undo damper rod before you take forks apart.Sometimes the rod will spin using a socket or allen key.If it does i know you have got the use of a windy gun.That'll do it. Once its all undone and the dust seal and the clip holding the seal is removed and its time to separate the 2 halves.They can be tight.What i do is get a 1/2 inch socket extension(about 10 inch long)wrap the middle few inches with several layers of gaffer tape(masking tape in your case lol) to protect any threads,stick it through the spindle hole then stand putting the extension under each foot and jerk the stantion up n down,bit like a sliding hammer action and they'll come apart. On re fitting if you can get some pipe(plastic or metal) that will go over the stantion you can use it to drift the new sill in but it must fit on the outer edge of the new seal so no to damage the seal. If using the old seal to drift the new one in i just rub the old seal down on the outside a bit and use a smear of grease so the old one dont get stuck ontop of the new one. -
do i let it grow or shave it off ? hair or no hair ?
