Aaaaarrrrggggghhhhh!!
The track bikes fork seals have started to weep slightly, they were fine last month when I checked, but it's obviously not liked being sat in the garage all winter only being bounced every now and again.
I'm relatively competent with a set of spanners but I've only ever changed some right-way-up fork seals with my mate years ago.
I don't fancy taking them to my local Ohlins place as I reckon they'll charge a fair bit, and wouldn't mind doing them myself with the K4 suzuki seals.
From looking at pictures of people doing this on the net the stanchion just seems to slide out of the slider (the bit clamped in the forks) once you undo the bolt at the bottom of the leg without a bushing, so the seals stay inside the slider, is this right? If so it seems a fairly easy job if I can just take the stanchion out and prise the seals out with a screwdriver. Anyone know where I could buy a cheap Ohlins tool to undo the cap?
