Just wanted to share a really good video on relacing seals. I used this same method - works fantastic. Only difference I used a piece of 1- 1/4 " water pipe and only sliced one side, and 1-1/2 over top cut in two pieces- with clamp. The 1-1/4 was so tight that when the time came to re-install the plug and snap ring I put this over the fork tube slid it down on top of the dust seal . It was tight enough to hold while I pushed the plug with the socket and replaced the snap ring.

Before you replace your leaking fork seals try this sealmate.net/cost like 7 bucks and worked great! |

The oil seals on the 454 are not where the video shows on that bike......ours are at the lower end of the fork tube. A totally different fork system than shown.

Im totally not arguing with you, I wasnt aware of that but Im sure youre right...All I can say is one of my tubes was leaking from the top, under the dust shield...I used that tool as the company recommended and it stopped the leak. Maybe it will start leaking again, when I ride, not sure. But right now it is completely dry even when I pump the crap out of it...before I used the tool it would soak then upper tube when I pumped it up and down.

If they are air assist, the easiest way... is to drain them, reseal the drain bolt, lift the dust wipers up, remove the retaining rings. Attach an air compressor and start pumping, at around 100 PSI the seals will remove themselves.

Can you use an impact wrench to remove the allen bolt 92001B, shown at about 3:25 minutes into the video? A 3/8inch drive impact wrench and the right size socket with allen end?
On a car, when you turn the centre bolt on a harmonic balancer, it turns the crankshaft too. So you have to find a way to block the engine from turning. I suppose it's not even if it's turning in the right direction in order to loosen the bolt. I used a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench.
Tightening the bolt was a problem too. I did not want to use an impact wrench to tighten the bolt as it would over-tighten the bolt, unless you have a way to control the impact wrench to provide just the right amount of torque. SO I used torque limiting sticks.

I always said that the seals were on the top and easy to get to, got shot down for that. This is why I don't contribute much here.....
