48mm seal driver

[fastriverrat]

Cycle gear said they had some in stock, they did not. anybody around the surrounding Vacaville area have a 48 mm seal driver I could possibly just borrow for a minute, gorgeous day out like to go play around a little bit on my 09 KTM 690 SMC all I have is a 46/47 mm driver. Thanks

Can you use a socket?

Go to a hardware store and buy a PVC T joint of the approximate inner diameter. Cut it in half with a hacksaw, place it on the fork leg and hit the T part with a hammer.

that's where I was headed to do the Pvc trick until a buddy barf member had a driver for me to borrow

use the old seal. leave it on the stanchion, drive the new seal in, then cut it off.

tried it, wasn't quite working out to get enough slammed down of the bushing that needs to be set on a 48 mm WP

leave the old seal on, wrap a bunch of duct tape around the fork and use the fork to drive the seal.
I've used this method a couple of times now. Works.
