New Fork Tubes. What parts do I need?
03/02/13 at 14:15:53
 
I ordered my 4" over tubes from Forks by Frank. They will be here Tuesday. I took a look at the microfiche and I am not sure what seals or other parts I will need to put this back together. I know I will need a longer brake line. I am going to stop in my local custom shop to see if he has what I need. I am also debating whether to do the work myself or just remove the tubes/damper assembly and take them to a shop to be done.

You will need two of each

5: SEAL,DUST (optional)
 
6: RING OIL SEAL S
 
7: SEAL,OIL

I needed new (#5 Dust seals) because mine were cracked and leaking, but if yours are good you don't need those.
I thought I could get away with using the old ring oil seals but mine were rusted and trash I would order those to be sure.

I also ordered two each of

10: F FORK CYLINDER (optional)

11: FORK CYLINDER G (optional)

The allen bolt head on one of my forks was stripped slightly I was lucky to be able to remove it.  also I was missing one coper washer, not sure if I lost it or if it was missing from the previous owner.  you dont need these if yours are in good condition.

You will need one quart of ATF or fork oil. 14.9 oz fro each fork in the OEM ones.

You will need blue locktite to put on the allen bolts when you put it back together.

A section of 2" diameter PVC

A home made tool for separating the parts inside the fork tube. I used the one described here.

2 5/8ths 8" bolts
2 5/8ths Nuts
1 5/8s coupler

These both describe how to do the process.
