Hi
I've been maintaining my Rockshox forks ... and had difficulties getting the dust wipers back. They don't push in by hand and keep going in squint, even with a tool. So I'm looking for someone in Hampshire who would be prepared to do it - and ideally show me where I'm going wrong!
Grateful for any suggestions ...
put them in the freezer and try again
Thanks for the fast reply ... should have said I've tried that! As well as spraying brake cleaner on it. They're Recon Gold/Solo Air. Cheers ...
Try one of the mobile guys...
Bikefixers spring to mind.
What tool are you using? Does it have a well fitting pilot?
The Unior tools for suspension are very good, your not trying to put 36mm seals in 35mm stanchions?
A guided seal driver is a lot easier to use than the old ones that are just a stepped tube.
Is it definitely the correct seal? Rockshox seals are normally easy to install, they are not as tight a Fox.
There are a few of sizes of RockShox 32mm seals with slightly different ODs from different 32mm fork models over the years.
