Hi all
I have a need to replace both front oil seals on an 82 GL1100 and having read all the threads I can find and the manual I am totally confused!!
I have never had to strip forks before and am thinking it may be too difficult for me
the manual says to remove head weight but nobody else seems to mention it so do I need to
what is the minimum I need to take apart to replace these seals assuming I take the forks off the bike by loosening the clamp bolts
Does anyone know of a step by step guide that even an idiot like me could follow
how accurate do you need to be with alignment on reinstallation ( the manual mentions using a feeler gauge)
Many thanks for info
Rob
