[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1365354, member: 3828"] When you drive the upper bushing into the lower fork leg you will want to drive it as far in as it will go. You'll be able to feel the difference when it is down all the way. Yes, you can (and should) use the old upper bushing to drive the new one in the last bit. When it is all the way in the upper edge of the bushing will be slightly below the upper edge of the bore in the leg. That upper edge of the fork leg is chamfered a bit and the bushing will be below the chamfering. Then the washer goes on and the seal pressed in all the way. You'll know the seal is far enough when you can get the expansion clip back into the groove above the seal. [/QUOTE]
