Install the new seal, slide the new dust seal up the inner fork leg and the snap ring, reinstall the lower tube onto the inner tube, install the lower 6 or 8mm bolt to hold the inner and upper together (a little grease on the washer and the threads help) Pry out the oil seal (make sure to not damage the tube) if you didnt use the 'slam" method aboveĬlean up the entire assembly, put some grease in the new oil seal (where the springs are holding the lip, packed full- this will keep the spring in place during assembly) and a little around the outer edge of the seal (so it slides in easier) Remove the dust seal, and the snap ring that is under it, you should then be able to seperate the upper and lower fork tubes (you may need to "slam" the lower down a couple times to remove the seal, but usually those old tubes will just slide around the bushing and seal) The 6mm or 8mm headed allen bolt on the bottom of the fork tube needs to be removed, use an air gun and the proper "good" allen head (if you strip it, you will be drilling) all the oil will drain out through that hole, and it allows you to remove the lower fork leg from the upper Take off the wheel, fender and brake calipers On that bike, you dont need to remove the fork tubes !! ( Luckily for you, you have one of the simplest bikes to do seals on)
