[QUOTE="Cyclepath, post: 1376026, member: 78971"] This past spring I finally decided to take the left fork off my Gen 1, and took into my local guy (I live just east of Edmonton), and had him tear it down and replace the seals. I too, had purchased the Sealmate wonder tool, but found its results less than wonderous. I had just completed a solo ride down to Great Falls MT back in May this year with that fork literally gushing oil out from the top if/when I ever took an unexpectedly tough bump. Had a rag wrapped around her to sop up what I could while riding, but oh my, what a bloody mess by the time I got home 3 days later. I've thought about it, but decided some time ago that when the time came, I'm not likely going to invest in / make the special tools to get this job done; I do already take care of what I can (brakes, fluid, oil changes, final drive, shaft lubes, etc). Good luck in your quest Worney. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/lazy2.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
