[QUOTE="gwhII, post: 722316, member: 40778"] The first time you do them, you probably won't save any money depending on what tools you buy. I tore my forks down when I did the gold valves and I replaced the all the bushings and the seals. The cost of the seals and bushings was about $70. My bike's an '03 so the tools and parts are probably a little different and checking in a shop manual will tell you what you need. Special tools I absolutely needed were a cartridge holder which can be either fabbed or bought and I used a double-nutted 9/16" Grade8 bolt to undo the cartridge. The expensive tools for me that made my life easier were a seal driver ~$60 which I justified because I have a couple bikes that have 43mm forks and a fork oil measurement tool ~$50. The seal driver probably could be substituted with some kind of PVC pipe. The fork oil tool can be fabbed if you look at www.dirtrider.net/justkdx tools. I'd also suggest soft jaws in your vise so that the sliders don't get messed up. All together, I would have around $200 in specialty tools and parts if I was just looking at seals. Do a search on forks and you'll find a lot of information. Best, Greg [/QUOTE]
