    IMG_2458.JPG IMG_2459.JPG I can't seam to got the fork seals out of the forks. The circlip has been removed but can't move the seals at all. I have just been using the usual method fo using the inner bush to knock the seal out. Almost seam to be fused in there. Even tied the bottom section off to the car and was and nothing. What else could I try?

    Self-tapper into the seal on each side (carefully) and grab with pliers.

    I tapped my seals with a drift to loosen seat and used some plus gas to penetrate. Even then after 10 mins of pulling the stanchion and slider came through the seal ! All I had to do then was pride seal out with screw driver.
