I have a set of powdercoated lower legs that i need to swap over to my forks and im curious what tools are needed to do so? Earlier this year i pulled the forks and had a local indy install the progressive monotube kit, but this time around id like to do it myself. im very mechanically inclined and I have a shop manual.

What tools are need to pull the lower legs off the fork tubes?

Im assuming ill need to replace the bushings and seals? does it come as a kit?

Thanks for any help!

19mm Hex Socket
12mm LONG Hex Socket
Fork Seal Seater

You can make your own tools...
19mm head bolt and 2 nuts
12mm Hex wrench cut of the "L" portion and use a 17mm socket
2" PVC Pipe

I just got done with this, didn't install new seals mine were fine.

I installed the Progressive Cartridge, you may need something else to get the springs in if your putting stock back in.

 

im swapping the monotubes back into the new lowers.

just to verify, I thought it was a 12mm long hex socket?

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure I used. 12mm on my 15 SGS for the lower bolt.

 

oops!

yes it is 12mm
