Sorry guys I should have said, I think one of them is starting to weep a bit, or at least I saw some oil on one leg the other day.
As its done 16k I thought I'd replace them just in case as I'm in there anyway. Academic now as I've decided to have some mates over for a bbq and drink icy cold beer instead anyway! ![]() ![]() |

I didn't realise that. So when I come to change my springs I can forget about the oil seals? Mine has only done about 10k anyway so they are prob OK - no leaks at all.

Yup, they'll be fine. Change the oil, mind, you can do it without but it's a bit of a wasted opportunity...

Just wanted to check, are we talking about the oil seals, or dust seals (or both)?

While I had mine apart I did both. Be a bit of a p*sser to do the oil seals and then a month or so later take it all apart again to to the dust seals..
I reckon it took me 3 hrs to to the first fork leg and then once I had worked out how to get it apart and put it back again, about an hour to do the 2nd fork leg.
