[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1363499, member: 27852"] Schedule 80 PVC is available anywhere. My gen 1 bushings were worn. The Teflon coating on the upper bushing was clearly worn on the tube that was leaking. I don't know if the slide hammer technique made it worse. I changed the bushings. FWIW - I didn't have the 26mm socket. I used some heat on the lower bolt and an impact wrench to disassemble. Then I put some blue locktight on it going back together. I trade the bike with at least 30K on the replaced seals. No problems. [/QUOTE]
