Is the only specific tool needed the seal driver? I read thru some posts here and some say no special tools and others say need special tools. I have replaced many fork seals in my MX days so I think I can handle it just not sure on tools required. Anyone done this recently and can advise?-----Thanks, Rethy

You will need the seal driver, a spring compression tool and a oil level guage. The fork tube has to come apart to get the seal off and on the inner tube. You will also need new guide bushing because the teflon coating gets trashed when you drive the inner fork tube out of the outer fork tube.

If you live close to LaCrosse WI and a 2000 M2 fork tool will work you can use my install tool it was only 140.00
