August 25, 201511 yr I'm looking to respray my forks and I'm looking to change the fork seals while I'm at it - is this a big job? And how do I go about it on a fantic? Many thanks!
August 25, 201511 yr Not particularly a big or difficult job depending on your mechanical ability. All the parts you'll need are a set of seals and new oil. Only special tools other than a vice with soft jaws or Black and Decker workmate is something to push the new seals down into the legs. If not a purpose made tool then an appropriate sized piece of plastic pipe can work okay. Getting the old seals out can be tricky and there's a sequence for undoing the internals to make life easy. It's a job most owners of trials bikes will have to do at some time.
