It's complex, it depends on your model, there are a few different popular methods of doing it (again dependig on model), and you must read and read and read archive posts to fully understand (Kent has given you a good start).

I did all the research (days of it), bought the parts from z1enterprises.com, then tried one and couldn't get it out. I admit, I didn't try as hard with the forks as I would other things, since they are so delicate.

Then I called my favorite shop and they told me $32 a fork with oil (since I already had the boots and seals). *THAT*, my friend is - as they say - a no-brainer to me....

thanks so much I'm only a lital retarded, but very dislexsic so spelling = Big problem:blush: I realy appreciate the links
