Fork Seal Question

<< < (2/2)

Hillclimb#42:
You should be able to get it done for 50 bucks a side. Help yourself out and get a set of seals and wiper and find someone for labor and oil. This will speed up turn around. If it continues to leak every time you ride it, you can replace the brass bushings that align them. They eventually get worn and allow the seal to get messed up quickly. I replaced the bushings and seals in the 97 k5 and have had no leaks this season.

c-152:
I have replaced all my own seals, its not bad to do it you follow the manual.  I am to cheap to buy the seal drivers so I made a set out of PVC and they work just as good (in fact I like them better) 
Just make sure you keep everything clean and get your oil level correct
