[QUOTE="Yamablue, post: 683885, member: 30496"] All right down to the basics. I look at my previous "new" set of seals that I took out (because they leaked) and coulnd't find a tear or sign of wear what so ever. I perform the job in a semi-clean environment (it is a shop after all!), but make sure to keep all abrasive and small particles away from the seals etc. I don't see how the bushings (which I can't see as being worn out) could effect the fork seals that quickly. Even so, how would worn out bushings effect the sealing properties of the rubber seals? What does the phrase "I've just blown a fork seal" mean? Nothing should explode, so I assume a tear or break is present in the oil seal. Just one more thing. The seals dont leak while sitting. Actualy, while riding on the street, I see very minimal leakage, if any. But when the pounding and long travel suspension come in to play, here comes the oil! And I don't want it getting on my disk, I need all the braking power I can get! LOL. Thanks so far guys! [/QUOTE]
