while installing my new hyperpro springs, i pull the bottom part of the fork out a little. Some oil came out, i pushed the bottom part of the fork back up. It went up smoothly, No force what so ever. Now when I pump the forks i get oil on the bottom slider. is it possible i have oil trapped between the dust seal and the oil seal? Its just coming out just a little when i pump the fork. Or did i damage my oil seal. | ||

the slider has a rebated portion ( smaller diameter) towards the end, beyond the normal seal bearing surface. While fully extended as you have guessed, oil was introduced between the dust seal and the oil seal, which is now oozing. the dust seal can be very easily pried down with a smallish screwdriver, and the region above it can be flushed or degreased. the dust seal will press back in by hand. |
