April 30, 200620 yr Forks are off the bike, damper is out, dust seal is off, and the circlip has been removed, but not sure how to remove the slider and seal. The manual say to pull out sharply on the fork tube to bump the seal out. Tried this a few times, but nothing moved. Should I heat the aluminum lower leg a little and then slide the tube out harder? How do you read the stem head label to determine the build year?
April 30, 200620 yr Don I've just changed the seals on my 2002 - and you just need to persevere with the "pulling". It took quite a few sharp tugs, but the seals came out OK.
May 1, 200620 yr Author Got them out today. Just a little heat from the propane torch and they come out easy. Don
