gsxr fork seal replacement?

[wesmoon]

I got the 93 gsxr1100 front end and I need to redo seals how is it done? Special tools needed? Also how to set them right? Thanks in advance

I assume the inverted setup...they're nothing special. Break the top caps loose while they're still in the triples is the biggest tip from me. I have also found it so convenient to leave the bad seal on the fork during reassembly...especially if you do not have the proper size seal driver. You can use a rubber mallet to hit the old seal, thus driving down the new seal, to get everything in place. The just pull the old seal back up and use wire snips to cut the old seal off before putting your dust seal in place.

You may need a tool to compress the spring holder to slip a sloted flat washer to remove the locknut under the fork cap.i made my own tool, i can take pic tomorrow if you want.

I made one also ; used a short peice of exhaust adapter pipe from teh autoparts store (2 1/4" x 2" IIRC). Drilled some holes and Welded so nuts onto the side for the bolts.
