I am going to attempt to change my fork oil and replace the fork seals. The shop manual calls for a few special tools like a spring holder, fork cylinder holder, and a front fork oil seal driver. I have been told that the only tool I realy need for this job is the cylinder holder. Has anyone changed their fork seals without these tools and if so what tools did you use instead? I did by the way order the cylinder holder. Any other pointers you might have for this job would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I replaced my seal without any of the special tools. The only tool that would have been helpful is the seal driver, but I made do without. I used the old seal to drive the new seal in. Lets just say a wooden clamp and a rubber mallet was involved. I tested out the new seal by riding a grueling 112 mile desert race that was nothing but rocks and whoops. Still no leaks.
