Iusuly I use the old oil seal upside down over the new one and over that I use the 2 part seal driver. That way you are pushing only rubber to rubber and lip to lip to make contact.

[@sterlingscholar]

[@chewybrand238]

PVC pipe sounds like an alternative for some fork tubes.

[@SleepingWolfGaming]

Chewybrand yeah dont have all that money to spend on these nice tools.

[@spencewhaley5254]

electrical tape works as well, just wrap a thick layer higher up on the fork tube after the seal is starting to seat by hand and slam the tube down to push the seal down.

[@randybard224]

you know works really good that I do is get a spare washer like the one above the bushing and put that between the seal and the driver that protect the seal

Good Job Very Good Assembly Technique

[@leonidsenal1598]

[@obfuscated3090]

If the inside of a PVC or other driver tube threatens the lip of a seal, I chamfer the inside with a deburring tool. Most bike mechanics don't know about machinists handheld deburring tools but they are cheap and make life much easier. (They are also great for deburring cases and covers when rebuilding engines.) Shaviv and clones are under twenty dollars. I don't hesitate to modify any tool I own or make one if needed.

[@aussiedigger1441]

It's so good watching your vids for those little neat tricks. I recently bought a 2001 KX 250 & your vids have been most helpful. Love your work Shane. I will make a small donation

[@juniorakasuperman]

I would use an extra washer since it’s the perfect size and drive it in with the weight or maybe the old seal on top of the new that way won’t hurt the new seal what do you think 🤔 Shane

[@moose8172]

Instead of buying an expensive tool, why not find a second washer like the one on the bushing to protect the seal.....then simply remove the washer once the seal is seated?

[@How2Wrench]

Nice idea Moose81...but that washer is not a stocking item at most dealers and we are training for "what would you do if you could" not to lessen your idea as its freaking great! But most shops will have these tools. To expand your thought, if someone did enough of these forks with this issue, stocking the washer as a special tool would be wise...wanna bet I will order a spare now....:) Have you Subscribed yet to never miss a video?

[@moose8172]

Yeah I got ya, but Im thinking a extra washer on hand is a heck of a lot cheaper than the special tool! Especially if you are only going to do one on "your personal" bike.......good tips on the video though

[@ciogon]

WOW...so many tools....a blowing torch would put to shame all of those tools...:))

[@alidarko3733]

great work guys especially covering the tip of the tube with plastic sheet can you guys tell me how much oil i put in my honda steed 400 forks i want to replace the seals but i dont know the amount of oil and thanks again for the great tips

[@HORNET6]

ali darko better more accurate technique is to get a fork oil syringe from Ractec and suck oil until you get the air gap.

[@daviddavis6231]

Would a touch of lubricant be of any benefit when fitting seals ?

[@How2Wrench]

Yes on the ID no on the OD. We want a tight dry fit to the outer tube. You're in luck. I do offer personal service to back up what's missing from a video to actually fix your specific problem.

[@HORNET6]

Fork seal grease. A smear to the outer edge of the seal will assist in seating it smoothly. Don't assemble dry, use fork oil. The bushes, damper rods, bush washer and seal will all "see" oil anyway so why not use it the lubricate during the build?

[@bobbo4360]

I wouldn't be banging the metal seal driver again to the tube which could scratch and cause a leak.

I love these videos that pity they do not have subtitles in Spanish you had 3 times those subscribers.

[@How2Wrench]

Right? I wish we could translate in many languages my friend...Spanish is being looked into though. Big audience for sure, but when you do all this for free with very little donations ever, one can't possibly do it all! I helped a guy in Mexico City using google translator the entire time!
