Yeah, but what does this fork seal tool do, removes the seal,pushes the new seal into the lower leg?, a tool that may not be required.

Yeah you can get away without a fork seal driver. You put the new seal on then put the old seal on over it and you hammer the old seal down and that will seat the new seal. It's best to use a rubber mallet so you don't damage the forks.

Dont forget your mop pole!
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.

Always hated doing fork seals.
Bit the bullet and did them on the fz8 USD's a month back, what a breeze, so much easier than rwu forks.
