|   Dust seal advice needed | DY
Oct 21, 2001 3:13 PM | | I have a '01 Mars Elite that I recently serviced. Now I'm having trouble getting the spring-side dust seal to seat. It keeps popping out when the fork compresses. I've wiped the excess lube, and it still seems a little slick.
What can I do to keep the seal from popping out? |

Here's how I fixed mine:
1. Clean both the seal/wiper with contact cleaner.
2. Clean the lower with contact cleaner
3. liberally coat the seal/wiper with red loctite (bearing and stud mount.
4. Press into place.
Do not pump fork or ride on fork for 4-6 hours. Let the loctite setup thoroughly.
Note: In extreme cases you may have to roughen up the seal surface lighky with 150 grit emory cloth.
Also, make sure that you are not overfilling the fork leg with oil. |
