I started the rake kit project today about 9:00 AM, all was going well then the heartache starts. My brother say's "you don't want to see this but look at this left fork dust seal", it was wet so we decided that we're here, let's do the fork seals. I do a 3 hour round trip to the bike shop, get parts and we start on the forks.
We did everything by the book and can not get the fork seals to break loose and come out.
Yep we removed snap ring (wire ring) above the seal and pulled on the tube with sharp pulls to see if it would pop loose, neither side will come loose
Anybody have any ideas what to try next? The seals are probably original, 2002.
