[QUOTE="TellurideFJR, post: 1457779, member: 5400"] My 07 Gen2 forks with 75K+ started leaking for the second time, so instead of spending $500 for the shop to do it, I ordered the parts. Slide hammer technique got both legs stuck so it sat all winter. I then went with aluminum angle iron and clamps to the tube and used a come along to pull them apart, one leg was a bit stubborn so I used a bit of heat. In the end both the top bushing and seal remained on the lower leg and the middle bush was wrecked but it came apart. It was fairly easy to pull the seal and upper bush and do the reassembly. I did buy the 48mm driver and used some 2" exaust pipe to seat the middle bushing. [/QUOTE]
