Hi Tom,

A TDM in Alaksa, great! I've been up in your neck of the woods (Anchorage, Kodiak, King Salmon, Cordova) over the past couple of years - just getting ready to be up there next month. I like the summers, but the winters are not that bad - now Fairbanks is probably another story!

To change the fork seal, remove the cap, spring, and adjusting rod. Pour out the old oil, then remove the bottom bolt, a air wrench will spin the bolt off without having to fab a holder for the damping rod. Remove the oil seal dust cap and retaining clip.

Secure the fork leg in a vise, grap the fork tube, and pull up sharply, repeatly (like a slide hammer) to remove the fork tube from the leg. The fork bushings (#14 & #16) will usually be ruined when doing this. Replace them along with the fork seal. This is the only way, unless you can fab up a real thin and strong flat hook to slide between the fork tube and the seal lip to pry the seal out in-stu.

Depending on how many miles on the bike, it might be time to relace the fork bushings anyway, as they do wear, especially if you ride alot on the 'normal' Alaska gravel roads.

Hope this helps.
