Fork Seal - Damage to Case

(1/2) > >>

andut:
More advice please !

I'm renewing fork seals as part of my rebuild and having struggled to remove the RHS fork seal, I can now see why from the attached photo.  Seal appears to have been glued in , and covered up some prior abuse !

There are a few deep gouges into the machined seal facing sufaces of the ally casting.  I can dress the edges of the damage to remove sharp edges, but am I wasting my time ?  Looks serious to me, but this is all new to me !  Can this be reworked, or am I looking at replacing teh case ?  - any advice greatly received !

Thanks in advance !

I'll try clean it up and see what happens !

Any advice for fitting new seals ?  Use the old seals and a large 'fine adjustment tool' ?
