Hello DYI'ers,

I am going to rebuild the forks due to seal leaks. I have done the seal mate trick that got me an extra year and half of riding. The same seal is leaking again, time to replace them. I am also going to try the Progressive springs while these are a part. My dilemma is this special socket is $42 from dealer and no luck finding it aftermarket. Can anyone direct me to another source or can this be made at home from a piece of pipe?

Thanks to all.

If any VRCCers living in the Ohio/WPA area need a fork rebuild done, get the parts and get in touch. I have all the required tools and will travel/work for food...  Evil
