Front fork rebuild questions

[gamorg02]

thanks sean. i'll gather just the seals n such to do the job and take a look at the bushings while i'm in there. anything specific to look for? do you need a puller or something to replace the bushings?

only 12k miles on the bike and no oil leakage or anything so i assume they're fine.

If it was leaking oil already then you will want to feel the tubes carefully for a small burr or nick that cut the seal. You can smooth the top off with emery cloth easily enough. Don't worry if it's into the metal as much as a burr or sharp edge sticking past the surface.

noted. but like i said no leaks so i bet i'm fine, just makes sense to do the oil seals while i'm doing springs.
