[QUOTE="Mr_Canoehead, post: 1376213, member: 86927"] Worney, you didn't tell us how bad the leak is - I'd definitely try the seal mate. I have had a couple of seals leak after replacement, because some crud gets under the seal. Since you got a new fork bottom, hopefully you got new bushings. You'll probably want to use the SM method of popping the seal because you won't have to mess with the bushings. Sending you a PM on getting it done. The slam it apart method is what the SM recommends (after the seal is popped) - I actually found that it didn't take much force at all. It's more like tap it apart. The hardest part was getting the upper bushing out after the tube was out - it stayed in place on both of mine. I used a steering head bearing race remover but a blind bearing puller would also work.
