Mr dos equis Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I'm going to replace a weepy seal I have on the Bird. I have done a ton of fork work on other bikes but I was wondering if I'm going to need any special tools on this job. I have had to make a few specialty tools for other bikes and was wondering if I'll run into the same issue on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 You'll need an extended allen key to get to the screw hidden at the bottom of the forks. I borrowed my buddies as he cut the small angle of an allen then inserted it into the proper sized (6mm?) socket. The other thing that is nice to have is a seal plunger tool, this makes sure it goes down right, otherwise you may need to use a piece of piepe and the old seal so as not to damage the new one going down the fork tube.

Mr dos equis Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Well I should be in good shape. I usually use the old seal and a piece of pvc and have been lucky enough to not have any issues. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
