Lower Leg Seal Service
L o w e r L e g S e a l S e r v i c e
Place a rag on top of the dust wiper seal. Insert the tip of a
downhill tire lever underneath the lower lip of the lower black oil
seal located above the upper bushing.
N OT I C E
If using a flat head screwdriver, make sure it has a round shaft. A
screwdriver with a square shaft will damage the lower leg.
Stabilize the lower leg on a bench top or on the floor. Press down
on the downhill tire lever handle to remove both seals at the same
time. Repeat on the other side.
N OT I C E
Keep the lower leg assembly stable. Do not allow the lower leg to
twist in opposite directions, compress toward each other, or be
pulled apart. This will damage the lower leg.
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the inside and outside of the lower leg
and clean it with a rag.
Wrap a rag around a long dowel and insert it into each lower leg to
clean the inside.
Position the new lower oil seal, with the grooved side visible, onto
the stepped side of a 35 mm seal installation tool.
