    Follow the instructions and all will be well...

    120mm is good for oil level. Do NOT pour in a measured amount. Set the level according to the instructions. Same with the spacer, follow the Note A section to determine the right length. That's what sets your preload.

    If the seals aren't leaking I usually leave them alone. Do pry up the dust seals and take a look. It's also a good idea to get some extra fine steel wool and lightly (emphasis on "lightly") buff the tubes. Buffing knocks the sharp edges off the tiny nicks and dings in the tubes that cut up the seals and make them leak.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.
