Joe is good. One look at the fork seal photos in my last post and he calls me up, “um, you know those seals are in backwards?” Sigh.
I whip out my Clymers repair and I can’t tell the orientation. Surprisingly, the thin Haynes repair manual is explicit is stating the spring-side goes in first. Could have something to do with that fold-over failure, eh? Monkey-boy strikes again.
Oh well, two fork seal flips coming up. Geez, I just went another 20 miles and everything was feeling right. And it sure is hot in the garage…
