Fork Dust Seals

[Dead Eye]

Thanks Dead Eye that's the kind of advice I'm looking for.
So basically I need to take the wheel out, mudguard off, calipers off, loosen top & bottom yoke , then take each shock out?
How do people support the front end while the wheel's off?

You're welcome

As for supporting it, I usually use a hydraulic floor jack with a dirty towel / cloth folded over lots and placed on the jack so that it doesn't scratch or damage the downpipes on the bike then jack up the front of the back whilst it is on the centre stand. Need to be very careful though - the pipes will take the weight (trust me) but its not the most stable - neither is putting something heavy on the rear seat.

Ideally you need something like axle stands to support either side of the frame because the forks often need a bit of persuasion when removing from the yokes and you do NOT want the bike to fall over like mine did It slipped off the jack (but that's mostly because the jack failed) and I ended up having to lie the bike on its side and refit the forks and wheel so that I could lift it up and re-mount it.

If you have two jacks, you can use one either side on the frame ^^
