The bushing will slide right in, always use a little grease when assembling hydraulics. The pvc will work fine on the seals. Bushings are usually Teflon coated. Good luck. I hope you have a new set of fork guards to protect them forks.
First off move the condenser to under the tank by the ignition coil. Sounds like a grounding problem. So does the bike still have lights? It would be much easier if not.
Ha! I quit trying to out ride my kid!
I still stretch fine, as I was more limber than my fat ass revealed.
I enjoy a Vintage trials as much as a Modern event.
I dropped down a class to make Monday much easier.
My fanny pack now has beer instead of parts!
I still enjoy every ride as much as I did as a teenager!
Usually the hardest thing is to break the bead. Second hardest thing is to pop the bead. Use plenty of lube and best to air the tire in a safe place away from you!
PS. Let the tire sit spread in the heat using a tube or blocks for a day.
That`s great advice Dan, but it depends on the condition of fluid. I would drain it all if you are having problems. Contaminated fluid has no business in a rebuild. But I do agree refilling the caliper first.
Your member id shows a 2001. The pro came out in `02. The video for the pro seal change got removed from the web. Even the parts diagram shows the spring side to the impellor. Good luck.
If you are just riding AHRMA the bike should already be good to go. The NATC vintage class or ITSA vintage trials is a whole animal of another color. For riding modern events it needs to be geared down considerably. Good brakes and suspension is worth way more than frame mods.
Most work like this is easily done with air tools. You might put the fork back together and on the bike. Compress the forks with tie downs and then try with the tools at hand.
That`s funny as K&N actually made a filter for the reflex. The xr 100 will also fit. To get real air flow cut the top of the air box using a current filter. Say, a Sherco filter off a 2008. Not running an air box is just silly on a trials bike. Fair weathered riding?
You need to make an air box. Using just an air filter has never been a good practice on any bike used off road. You could always use the stock box, and custom make a filter for the top of the box to get more air flow than stock.
