Title: High Tech Tools
Post by: krusty on April 11, 2021, 11:56:23 PM
The fork seals of my FJ1200 were leaking and contaminating the brake pads. To do the seal replacement I needed special tools. Here they are.

Carbon fibre oil seal drift. Former life was a sailboard mast.

Damping rod holder. Formerly a piece of old copper water pipe with brass 32mm fitting that was in a box of old plumbing stuff. Filed the nut down to 27mm.

Fork oil measuring device. Piece of wood with nail preset to 6"

Very ingenious, and cost effective but what holds the water pipe? Or is there a tee on the top  :scratch_one-s_head:

I want to see your manometers   :biggrin:

Vise grips hold the pipe
