Hi

The left hand fork seal popped out of my Evo today. I had a quick go at putting it back in, but no success. Is there an easy method? It is an SKF (green) seal.

Thanks in anticipation.

You have to drive it in with a hard card bored tube of simular size no need to strit apart the fork just take it out the fork clamp slide down the hard tube plastic if u can find one and knock it back home making sure it is going in evenly But it should have a retainer but not sure . And you should find out why it popped out as it may do the same again

I think you mean the wiper on top of the tube. I just put a set in a friends Rev4 and I noticed the lip that goes into the fork leg is far shorter on the SKF green wipers than on the old OEM seals. I'm pretty sure his will pop out too.

Yes, it would be the wiper, rather than the actual seal. Thanks. It also has a "spring" collar, which goes around it, to keep it snug against the fork tube. Do I still follow the advice given above about using a cardboard (or a plastic) tube, to push it back down in?

Thanks

Thanks for the info. Thanks to Delboy's Garage too.

Thanks to everyone.

Yeah. I find that the same tool I use for the OEM (piece of PVC pipe) doesn't properly fit the SKF seals. They are wider at the seal lips so I had to hog out the seal driver with a Dremel tool. I still think they're gonna pop out once the bike gets ridden. Not a great option until the wiper is redesigned in my opinion.
