[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 946283, member: 3828"] Easy. Once you get the seal to stop leaking you take the fork leg off, pull out the spring and top it up with fork oil just like you normally do. Or, since you really have done all of the hard work, just go ahead and drain and refill with fresh oil. In my case, I pulled the fork leg and used the (home-brewed) Seal Mate on the bench. Since I had just flushed and filled the forks 6 months prior, I just topped the leaky one up and called it a day. Either way, it os a whole lot less labor than replacing the seals and (inevitably) bushings. Y (forking) MMV [/QUOTE]
