Thanks Stinky. I was hoping you would chime in on this. Looks like you are the one that's been doing most of the forking around here lately.
Just got done reading about your gold valve install. Like you said though, not quite what I needed.
That is real good info on getting them apart and the tool. Great! That's what I need. Thanks again man!
I ordered those parts, # 14 & 16, in the pic I posted. May have in a week. : (
Yeah, looks like it would be a real bitch to pry those seals out. They are recessed down in there just a bit too much. Even if you did get them out there would be a good chance of getting debris down in there that you may not find or be able to clean out.
I thought of a possible way to get those seals out by using air pressure. This may be a crazy idea. I can not think of anything inside that could be damaged by this. But then again, I have not been in there.

Do you have any thoughts on that? Anybody? Just have to figure out how to apply the pressure. Or are the forks vented somewhere like the old ones that had easy to change seals? I don't see any place that they vent.
A fabricated fitting that threads into the bottom bolt hole? Then apply a good blast of air from the air compressor?
What about this little screw on the side of the bottom of the fork? Did not yet see it mentioned in the manual yet.
Take it out and use an air gun to give a good blast? That would be easy. Probably to easy to actually work.
What is that little screw? (in the pic)

Not sure I want to pull it without knowing what it is. Just looks like a drain plug.
If this was an old style forker I would say it is for draining the oil. Not sure on this one.

Emm, -- Wicky, the hedges & forests can just keep growing. I ain't gonna mess with them, I like it that way. I just want to ride.
But them seals is gonna get beat!
