[QUOTE="reelrazor, post: 843354, member: 54546"] It isn't really "blasting them out". The fluid does come with them, but one shop rag around the fork leg is all that is needed. With the spring out and cap back on I just put the bottom end of the fork on the floor and push. It doesn't gush or anything, just a slow compression and the seal comes up just as slow. I usually replace the dust seal/cap anyway, so I don't mind dooky-ing them up if I have to to get to the c-clip. The slider bushings are a press fit in the lower fork leg. They are thin radially and fairly tall. They are what keep the fork tubes from wearing out the legs. They are usually some cast metal with a teflon coating. Some forks have two sets, one right below the seal and one lower down. If the seals have been bad for any length of time, you can count on wear in the bushings. [/QUOTE]
