Do NOT use a screwdriver to set the seal. You will buger the little springs inside the seal and it will leak 5 miles down the road. Do yourself a favor and save the heartache by using a pvc pipe. Oh and oil up the seal first before sliding it on the fork.

Be sure you protect the fork with tape or something while working on it. Any nick or scratch will make the seal leak. Ask me how I know. I had to do mine twice. I gotta say second time was much faster.
