[QUOTE="NMRoadRunner, post: 1376187, member: 13641"] Is the rebuild hard? No, is it easy? again No. If you have the proper tools and some experience with using them you can muddel through. Getting the bushings out is the hardest part, putting the new ones in isn't easy either. you'll need a really well anchored vise and good tube protection for using the slam it apart method, I've done three sets. I do have a copy of the rebuild instruction thread in my files, would be willing to send you out a copy if you can't find it anywhere else, And before you ask, I don't know that you can take them apart without messing up the bushings, and pushing out just the seals is a real stretch too. The hardest part for me was trying to match the viscosity of the extremely expensive "magic mama yama fork juice". I would definitely try a sealmate first, and sometimes it takes a couple of tries to work. [/QUOTE]
