[QUOTE="Auburn, post: 1363522, member: 5661"] Here are the special tools that I made to do forks with: Anyone can make these or have someone weld them. all three together [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/LCLBLjV.jpg[/IMG] 26 mm socket welded onto 1/2" x 20" tube with a small 3/8" socket extension welded to the other end. spray painted black I believe this is what I have: [URL="https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-1-2-in-Drive-26mm-Shallow-12-Point-Metric-Socket/3387260"]26 MM socket[/URL] from Lowes [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Ym4ag2G.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/LCLBLjV.jpg[/IMG] End view of muffler pipe 2" by 14" (can be longer - need one end to be cut straight across) it is thin enough to drive the bushing into place and not hit lower fork tube. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Jqb3rUm.jpg[/IMG] 2" ABS pipe with 2" cap( I put the cap on it so I can use a dead blow hammer to drive the into place and the pipe is wide enough to spread the load over the seal so it won't get damaged.
