[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1447924, member: 19880"] (Edit - these are conventional forks, not the upside-down ones in the ES version for 2014+) When you use the "slide hammer" technique to separate the forks and pop out the seals, the (I think) middle bushing can get jammed under the top bushing. Usually they can be tapped back although it can take some force - thus my suggestion of mallet with wood buffer. Something to remember... [B][SIZE=5]Make sure you remove the snap ring BEFORE trying to separate forks...[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]Good reference [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fjr-tips.org/maint/ForkSeal-BushingReplacement.pdf[/URL][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
