[QUOTE="dsmack, post: 529395, member: 15210"] Don ~ I've used a MotionPro driver when rebuilding the forks on my old Kawa Zephyr, and it did work very well. I think you are correct in your thought that it won't work for the lower bushing though, due to the larger diameter of the tool at the top preventing it from reaching the depth required. Your idea of Delrin is good, another possible alternative would be a piece of brass tubing the correct diameter, turned-down if needed for an exact fit. PVC pipe has also served well in a pinch, again turned down on a lathe for appropriate fit. The advantage of Delrin or PVC is that it will non-marring to the interior bore surface of the fork leg, an important consideration! Let us know what works out for you. Don [/QUOTE]
