[QUOTE="james1300, post: 856042, member: 190"] Neighbors '05 FJR. Fork was leaking. He took both sides apart (cartridges out) and flushed everything including lowers. New dust seals and seals ready to go back in. The upper 'bushing' is giving him fits! How does he get the upper bushing back into the fork lower? The fork tube looks like it will only go back in with the LOWER bushing installed on the tube prior to inserting the fork tube into the fork lower. What 'tool' is used to install the upper bushing into the fork lower while the fork tube is installed into the fork lower? I was thinking a piece of PVC pipe slid down over the fork tube. It could be used as a 'driver', to tap the bushings then, the seals back into place? He went to the local Lowes Hardware store where they sell it in 2 foot lengths. However, it is too small diameter. It won't fit over the tube. 2mm too small diameter. My suggestion was to 'dremel', cut the length of the PVC pipe. This would allow the PVC to expand enough to slide over the tube. Then use the PVC pipe as a driver. Suggestions? [/QUOTE]
