arbutus Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Did a forum search for "SKF" and got no results. We just replaced the original seals in my son's 2003 Sherco with the new and highly recommended SKF seals. Being thrifty, in the past I've just removed the originals,cleaned, greased and reinstalled them. The new SKF seals required very little force on the seal driver to install, just a firm push. The old seals had to be driven home with a slide hammer action. Has anyone else who has installed the SKF seals found them to be this easy? Did they remain oiltight? They appear to have a lot more stretch to the sealing lip that slides, the backup coil spring couldn't hurt either. It's the outside circumference of the SKF that seemed a bit undersized. Thanks, Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 SKF makes seals for a lot of manufacturers forks, used a lot of them in the past on KTM etc and they are good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
