Easy Fork Seal Change

[F6Dave]

Over the weekend I was asked for the post I saved from the old message board describing the easy method for changing fork seals and bushings. I didn't read it until this morning since the reminder email ended up in my spam folder. I'll post it here in case anyone else is interested.

This was a great post that saved me a lot of time. Then I discovered the Seal Doctor, and I haven't changed a fork seal in years!

  Good info except , loosen the top pinch bolt or the hex on the fork cap will strip off. Be sure to retorque when done.

                              my two cents before tax.

On a note, I got all parts ordered and in stock just to discover I already ordered bushings and guides.    I got them listed in the classifieds.

seal doctor????

I think a "seal doctor" is one of these...


Got it for the dirt bikes, but have used it on the street bikes.  It won't fix old seals or worn bushings, but works great to clear gunk or dirt from a good seal (which will cause leakage) and can save a lot of $$ or time.
