How-to Replace Fork Seals on WP AER Forks

[@davidjo997]

Thanks Jeff, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and maintenance procedures! Keep it up ✊

[@firffighter]

Jeff, as a long time woods rider from the PNW, I want to say I really appreciate the helpful videos lately! Very refreshing to have insightful , informative information that actually helps the riding community vs "look at me ride, I'm an expert" bike reviews dominated by "support me, buy my swag". Keep up the great work!

[@slaverace1]

You're welcome. It's also refreshing to know that not everyone buys in to the BS from Mr. Poor Me, help me support my big house, my big boat, my big truck, my big trailer and my garage full of nice bikes.

[@firffighter]

@@slaverace1 I think you might be surprised by the number of actual experienced riders who prefer depth and experience over shallow, used car salesman approach. Regardless, your videos are extremely helpful and appreciated! BTW, long term V33s Gekkota review? Hearing good things.

[@slaverace1]

@@firffighter Just installed the VE33S. Stay tuned.

[@alexthemtbr]

firffighter I’m not Jeff, but the VE33s is my go to tire. Climbs soft loam and crawls through rocks super well. It’s not a m5b on hillclimbs but i think it’s the most versatile tire you can buy. I even got 50hrs average on the thing. But I run them down pretty dang far. Idk. My go to tire for everything right now

Thanks jeff, I have become a KZbin Certified Dirt Bike mechanic from watching your videos over the last few years. LOL Thanks for taking your time to produce them...very helpful.

[@slaverace1]

Mike, That is too funny.

[@eddiegilson5201]

Thanks for your video. I ordered parts for ours then found out you need another tool to complete the right hand fork to remove the adjuster top to replace cartridge oil.

[@joshuaculleton3047]

Cheers, Jeff. Absolute legend mate that vid was heaps helpful.

[@slaverace1]

Glad it helped

[@slaverace1]

[@mt1885]

Hi JEFF SLAVENS GREAT VIDEO !!! What brand of them YELLOW shop rags you using or where you get them from?

[@slaverace1]

Costco and Home Depot have them.

[@mt1885]

@@slaverace1 THANKS!

[@grutzmac]

Is the procedure for the air spring side the same? How much oil and what weight goes on the air spring side? Thanks for the video!

[@slaverace1]

Yes, the procedure is the same for both sides. Oil info is in your owner's manual.

[@dwayneellenor8761]

Great Video !!!

[@gupomper]

I understand that this is the air spring side.

[@masondyer3901]

Do you need to release the air pressure in the fork if your just replacing the seals?

[@slaverace1]

No

[@sloc88]

Thanks for the informative video, how often are you doing maintenance on the rear shock?

[@slaverace1]

Total rebuild at 50 hours.

[@millerrr9527]

Hey Jeff, I followed all these steps and now my forks won’t rebound, what should I do?

[@kylewheeler2150]

I have the same forks, the wp aer 48 forks. I replaced the the fork seals on my right fork and after I was done I noticed its a lot easier to compress the fork together then it is on the left side. Is this how it’s suppose to be?

[@slaverace1]

One fork leg has air pressure, the other only has valving but no pressure.

[@masondyer3901]

Did you release the air pressure in forks

[@slaverace1]

No

[@rjg3876]

Would these forks bolt up to a 2011 570 Husaberg? With out any problems?

[@sloc88]

How often does the inner cartridge need to be rebuilt/ oil changed?

[@slaverace1]

50 hours max. I service my forks at 25 hours.

[@5519nando]

Oil fork capacity?

[@SPCxRecon]

i thought the air forks had no oil

[@slaverace1]

No, they definitely have oil that runs through the valving and lubricates all the moving parts.
