Hey all, I just ordered all the parts to change my fork oil and seals on my '07 Uly. I guess the forks are 43mm, so will these work to install the seals properly:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-Inverted-Fork-O il-Seal-Driver-Tool-43mm-KTM-/170855851930?pt=Moto rcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item27c7cd6 79a#ht_1929wt_1167

The listing says KTM, but from the picture they look good ... I have never worked on forks before, so any advice would be appreciated.

yes they will work,some folks make them out of pvc pipe but I like the real McCoy myself,it's such a sweet feeling when you bury that seal,in the tube.

Looks like they will work to me or alternatively, you could just wrap about 3/16" of black tape around the fork tube and shove the seal it with that. Plus you could use the money saved for beer.

I've been working on motorcycles for a long time, and I've never used a seal driver. I have always gone the PVC route without a problem.
