The right side fork gives up oil. Like to replace the oil seal & dust ring.

The dimensions are not given in the manual.

Does anybody know, please?

PS Few weeks ago I put fresh oil in the tubes.

Before that I had a hard time to get the rusty stoppers out on top.

Forced them down with a bamboo rod and hammer just enough to free the clip. Hardly moved......

.....UNTIL next morning.... When I loosened the upper telescope clamps the stoppers rocketed into the air :rolleyes: LOL

I learned my lesson as there is no such advice in the manual :D

Can't help you with the sizes, but launching the cap into the air was exactly the same way trick I did. Another way to get at those caps is to use a 2 prong gear puller gear puller

attach to the top tree, push the cap down and there you have a extra set of hands getting that circlip out.
