I need to change the fork seals on my 1980 KDX175. I am a rookie at fork service. It looks like I should be able to change the seals without disassembling the fork, but I am stumped by how to remove the cover over the snap ring that is holding the seal in.
From the looks of the drawing at buykawasaki.com, the seal is held in by a snap ring which is under a rubber wiper, which is under a metal cover/ring. This metal cover/ring seems to be pressed in, but there is nothing to grab to allow it to be removed. Any suggestions or experience out there?
