Part 2 - How To Change - Changing Fork Seals Fork Seal Oil The Easy Way Cruiser Royal Star Yamaha

How to change motorbike cruiser forks seals and oil the easy way. I couldn't change the fork seals on my bike the normal way by pulling them completely apart as they just would not come apart for me. So I tried it the easy way by using hydraulic pressure and pushing the seal out. This worked like a charm and each fork seal was changed in 60 or so minutes. This should be practically the same job for most cruiser forks and many others. The only draw back with this method is that you cant examine the internal parts of the fork.

how did you build the pvc pipe to fit the fork seal and how would i make my own for a 1984 nighthawk s 700 please email back jrhynd4174@gmail.com

@jrhynd41 hi just made sure that the pipe was a bit bigger than the fork and then made six cuts at the bottom. I pulled it tight and to size with a cable tie. Its shown in the 1st video.

@mbelik07 my bad its in this video at 1:55 and I just cut it with a hack saw

Don't you have to bleed it and can you pop the seal by pulling it apart

[mbelik07]

@mush133 no, I didnt and it didnt pop by pulling apart so thats why I had to do it this way.

[mbelik07]

Yep this could work especially if you have a valve on top like I do

its hydraulic not hydrolic...
