how to guide :2005-2008 zx6r fork seal replacement (with pictures)

[burnoutnut]

throw a 10mm spanner under the nut so you dont loose the rod down the tube


now grab a 17mm and a 12mm and undo the for cap


unscrew the fork cap and pull out the tension rod




now take your long threaded bolt with the zx6r engine mount nut on it and thread it on a few times




then release the ratchet straps and pump some more oild out of it


slide the spring cap out


then spring


slide the dust seal down by gentely priying it with a small flat screwdriver



then inside the tube you will see a pin, place the flat head screw driver in and lift one corner then follow it around



now its time to separate the tubes. to do this either get a mate to pull on the each end of the tubes or use the outter tube like a slide hammer and just pump it in and give a hard quick pull and it will pop free like this (have the oil drain ready)



once youve done that you'll see this (outter bushing/ washer/ fork seal/ pin/ dust seal)


grab your new fork seal and dust seal and slide back on in this order



now inorder to push your old seal back on your gonna have to cut your old fork seal in half with a grinder or hack saw like so
