You aren't the Art Mann with the TV show are you? (had to ask)



I just changed my 84 fork seals without any special tools. Have you searched the forum?

No special tools needed. You do need to make something to seat the seals with, I used a piece of pvc pipe split length-wise and then clamped loosely around the tube with a large hose clamp.

Ditto on the PVC. I just replaced the top bushings and seals using PVC.

Tools pvc pipe , hammer and c-clip pliers

I just changed my fork seals on an 84 and didn't need any special tools other than the PVC tool shown in the How-To. By the way it was way easier than taking the forks off the bike!

No not the TV show guy but my ol' lady wished I were on one so she could shut me off. Yeah I agree w/you guys about special tools. I read that stuff in the Clymers manual which is somewhat off base on many things. Thanks Fellas!!
