How to Replace Fork Seals

Re: How to Replace Fork Seals
that sucks
Did you inspect your bushings to seen if they appeared worn??
They shouldn't blow out fast unless the bushings are worn, you didn't use oem seals, possibly if you don't lube the seals before installing and/or driving them in unevenly, or if your fork tube is slightly bent or scratched..

Don't use PVC your more likely to damage the sleeve and the seal trying to get them in. I did a set and for some reason one fork would not seal correctly and kept leaking afterwards. I'm buying the correct seal pushers for the job next time

If you wanna spend $100 per bike for the tool go ahead, but at that rate, might as well pay a shop to do it
Gotta be smarted then the pvc, gotta sand it smooth, leave no burs
