[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1165609, member: 19880"] FJRed's write-up is for a Gen II. The process and fork internals are a little different for the Gen I - no middle bushing and should be easier. The special tool for setting the middle bushing won't be needed. You may be able to find some Gen I specific instructions. Before you get into dismantling and repair, try a "Seal Mate" on the fork seals. [URL="https://sealmate.net/"]https://sealmate.net/[/URL] Unless there are a lot of miles on it or the seal was physically damaged somehow, this is likely to work. You can fashion your own version of the Seal Mate using a piece of milk bottle plastic or packaging material etc. Lots of success stories for the Seal Mate on this forum. [/QUOTE]
