fork seals

[85r]

Hi eveyone. I am having a hard time removing the front fork seals off of my 85 250r. I'm having trouble taking out the old seal, I've taken the dust cap and the big o-ring out, but I just can't take the oil seal out. Can someone give me some ideas on this.
Thanks

do you mean the snap ring?????? there is one under the dust cap,,,,,,,,,,, if you have that out the seal just slides out,,,,,,,,,,,,

After you get the snap ring out, just pull down on the fork repeatedly like a slide hammer and the seal will come right out.

[Mr. Richard]

opps,,,, do you have the bolt from the bottom out?????

Thanks for the info guys. No I don't have the allen screw at the bottom off. I tried to take it off, but it is very tight, anyone have any ideas what to use to take it off?
thanks

Use a small air impacter. When Jenn had this problem, and the allen bolt just turned, she put a bunch of air pressure in the shock, and blew the seal out

:D yes it worked great.....unfortantly your still gonna need to get that allen bolt out.........unless its not spinnin......oh yes make sure the fork is pointed away from you, fork oil does not clean off very easly:D
