I am looking to purchase a seal driver from Motion Pro to rebuild my front forks on my '97 S3. What size do I need? I think it is 41mm. Also are there any other tools that I absolutely need? Thanks, Mike

I used the Motion Pro tool on my 2001 S3T. It's a 41mm for the 2001. (Note: I also used it on my Sportster, 39mm and it worked fine.)

I had a spring compressor borrowed from BC Steve that was helpful in releasing the retainer, but might have been able to do it without this.

The other tool that you need is also available from Motion Pro and is used to set the fluid level in the forks. It's a syringe attached to a metal tube. You adjust a stop on the metal tube to the correct level, stick the tube into the fork leg and suck the extra fluid out.
