Fork seals done.

Just want to say big thanks to this site, Kev and any contributing members.

I replaced my fork seals today and having never done it before I was chuffed at how easy it was made by looking up sections on this site.

I also fitted Kevs fork spacers and re-packed the head bearings while the bike was up in the air.

My main worry was getting the bottom bolt out of the fork, i had a compressor at home so i got a cheap air impact ratchet off ebay (�18) and the bolt just spun out like Kev said - easy. I used the old seal and a small nylon hammer to drive the new seal in - perfect.

I did the cush drive mod on sunday, two bikes took me an hour while talking to my mate and supping a beer - how easy!
Changed the Co as well and blocked the AIS pipe.
The bike is soooo much better. Next mod is raise the rear with XTZ dogs i think.

Just to say that I am the most least experienced mechanic on the planet so if I can do it - so can any one.
These little XTR's are lovely to work on.
