[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1446876, member: 19880"] Except for two possible issues. 1) Sometimes, the forks do not come apart as easily as you might like! The middle bushing can get jammed under the top bushing and may be a bitch to get out without damage. A heat gun to warm the upper bushing region of the fork can be your friend. 2) You need a special tool to seat the middle bushing. (see the reference I linked, above) [URL]https://www.fjr-tips.org/maint/ForkSeal-BushingReplacement.pdf[/URL] [USER=93203]@RiderJoe[/USER] is correct, compared to a proper fork oil change, it does not necessarily take much longer to do the bushings and seals if you know what you are doing and have the right tools. My advice would be to do it yourself if you are comfortable with this stuff. If not, go to a competent shop - not like this is something that has to be done very often. [/QUOTE]
