thanks, I just got info about using a Hy dralic press to removethe seal. repace all of the hole screw, fill with oil, press down and the pressure will force the seals out. I think I can use my tractor bucket as the press.. Any way thanks for the info, I will keep slide hammering for a while as I have PB Blaster on the seals Now from the top down

Thanks JB, I will try that, Also I just tried to put them back together to use the hydralic press Idea and or the tractor bucket and I cannot get the forks together, the lover inside tube that controls the oil flow will not go to the bottom of the tube so I can put the (allen bolt) in the bottom. I should have taken them to a MCycle sshop...AGGGGH

I say that he tube (about 8"long with the rebound spring on it) seems not to go to the bottom of the lower tube so I can put the Allen in,Top tube seems to go up and down fine. so I can put the long spring in and put the rest of the closures in so I can, fill it with oil and try getting the seals out with hydraulic presuure.. No I never got the tubes apart, upper and lower. I am absolutly sure the washers are out, one is on the work bench and the other one is missing, both tubes will not Slide Hammer apart, maybe some one use glue or locktite, I am thinking of using a razor knife next maybe the heat will work, I have torchs and heat guns

Hey Brian, thankks, I just cant pull any harder, I give up on that methoud, am pulling on them has moved my work bench off the wall and across the room, A Motorcycle mechanic said I could put two metal screws through the rubber seal and use dikes on the screws to pry them up and out. another person saidheat the tubes up to the pint that water would boil and than slide hammer....................



I dont know what I will do next. Yes I do need a metal spacer that goes under the circlip, it was missing on one fork, but wait till I distroy a fork or two, I may need more parts...UGHWhat a Pain in the butt
