stadli Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi anybody got any advice on changing fork seals on a dtr 125 ive got the forks off and drained them, got the springs out etc but im having trouble getting the allen key bolts in the bottom end of the forks to move. Is there anyway to get the seals out without having to remove these bolts or do i have to seperate the forks compleatly. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billa65t Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi there, Basiclly if you want to do the job properly you need to take the forks apart completely or you stand a good chance of damaging the fork tubes.If you have a strap wrench wrap it round the fork tube and then try and undue the allen key. hpe this helps, Regards Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
