fork oil seals

<< < (3/5) > >>

LesterPiglet:
Air gun is the way, or a drill in reverse might get it. If you don't turn the tool fast enough the innards just turn as well.

Norniron:
Hey mike,u can use that socket,put the fork leg in a vice upside down.put that socket in a t/bar.now turn anticlockwise while tapping it with a hammer.the shock should break the seal.
This is if u dont have access to an impact driver or an airgun

Bryanj:
If they have never been out before there will be some sealant in the threads which is where the air gun works or as somebody else said remove the top nut and spring then use a sharpened broom handle to stop the damper rod turning

MikeM:
so ended up clamping these in a workmate and using the socket allen key got it out,

must admit did not use pressure more a quick snap action and it came out

anyway, got the new seals in quick polish up of bottoms...... did not take  notice though of which way spring goes in, take it that at it goes in tightly wound end in first ?

also trying to find in manual how much fork oil to put in?

no 1 way which I think is correct




or is it no 2 way

MikeM:
does 160 cc sound right... got that for 500 four
