Who has done their fork seals themselves? I would send them to Dan Kyle to get set up along with with my (new to me) Ohlins shock, but time and funds aren't allowing it. I have a trackday next weekend and need to get this done asap. Taking them to the local shop is possible, but I have little faith in someone else's ability to not screw up my forks.
I am fairly mechanically inclined. I have more confidence in myself than the local shops. After reading through the manual (which I've heard doesn't help at all???) and watching videos on YouTube, it doesn't seem that hard. If anyone has done it and has tips, or a step-by-step, that would be great.
What tools are required for our forks? The caps just use a 32mm it looks like, which I have. Do we need a damper rod holder? I've seen that the book uses a 17mm wrench and some say to shave it down. And of course the long Allen for the lower and the seal bullet and driver. What sizes do we need for the bullet and driver?
Anything else I am missing?
If there is anyone local that has these tools and would be willing to let me borrow them, I would be more than willing to compensate them. I would also be willing to compensate anyone the is able to ship them out to me. Obviously I am going to look into getting the driver and bullet locally, but it doesn't seem like something that the local shops will have.
I am seriously considering just pushing my trackday back a few weeks or so.
