[QUOTE="ButtonFly, post: 90160, member: 16889"] I bought dust and oil seals for my 99 WR400 yesterday, and need a bit of help deciphering the manual. Also, can someone post the link to Jeremy's HUGE post about taking apart forks, I couldn't find it... Hope you know what I am talking about. Let me make sure I have this right. I take off the forks, then remove cap bolt from outer tube. Then I remove the cap bolt from the spring guide. The dust seal then comes off, and then the stopper ring. Then I move the inner tube in and pull it out rapidly to get the oil seal out, then replace the seals, and put it all back togethor. Questions. I would imagine I am removing the spring right after I take off the cap bolt? And pumping (or pouring?) out the oil at the same time? Do I need the damper rod holder tool? Doesn't seem like I would, as it is for the next step in the manual... (this is all located on pages 5-29 and 5-30 in WR400FL) I don't ever need to remove the base valve correct? I don't have a fork seal driver. Is there anything else that can be used? (I have heard of people using PVC) Do I REALLY need one, or does it just make life easier? Lastly, do the fork spring shims (preload shims) make a noticable difference? I was considering installing a few, to get my forks a bit stiffer... [/QUOTE]
