Anybody got a round a bout cost estimate for front fork seal replacement on 99 FLHTC

 

Shop manual $70
Seal $10
3 hours of your time getting to know your bike PRICELESS!

It's not a hard job, just takes a little time. I swapped lowers (stock for black) on FLHX & changed fork oil/seals in ~5-hrs one Sat...which was about a 12-pack job for most, but I wrench sober & have cold ones when I wash/clean.

Do a search...tons of videos out there showing the process.

 

Changing the fork seal is a simple job, stripping away all the bullshit to get to it is a royal pain in the ***.

 

Might wanna change the oil while you are in there.

 

Just did it on my wife's TriGlide

 

Nice, just did my FLHTK last week.

 

And upgrade the cartridge in the one side with a pair from progressive.

Actually, it's a big job if you have to ask. And to save a lot of grief, ask your dealer. If all it is doing is leaving a film, that is pretty normal. If it is squirting out, someone put too much in there. Unless of course, you are doing motocross on the weekends. On a 99, you need to replace the bronze oilite bushings when resealing. Could even be the sliders too. They need to be checked in the wear area they travel on the bushings as compared to above or below it. I am not sure of the allowance of wear.

 

Actually, I upgraded to a pair from GP Suspension that I got from Motorcycle Metal. They offer a substantial discount to Forum members.
