Title: Fork seal replacement
Post by: roninvt on July 19, 2014, 06:46:13 PM

I replaced my fork seals about a week ago.  One is great and the other is a gusher!!  :oops: I did the job by removing the lower tubes only and left the forks in place.  I picked up a new seal today from an ace indie wrench and he said the seals are designed to be slid down the tube, and that doing it the way I did is a good way nick the seal.  How do you do it?

If it's on the K11, it would be correct to mount them from the top.....if you follow BMW advice.
