    Fork Seal - BackUp Washer - Dust Wiper

    Instructions show 5 parts, and kit has 3 parts..... had me puzzled for a bit.



    THe parts On the instructions
    1 Dust wiper
    I think that is the hard plastic big part.

    2 snap ring
    I gather that is to be reused from existing

    3 BackUp Washer

    4 Seal.
    THe rubber part.
    I gather the instructions are saying for the smooth flat edge to be on top.
    And the open / finned edge on bottom.
    It does not seem to be tapered as shown on sketch.

    5 Original Washer.
    I gather this is to be the exisitng installed one, if any.

    Does it seem that I have the parts in the right order / orientation ..?

    PS: I think I will also be getting a driver tool (41mm for GK).

    See if you have some PVC pipe available in short lengths. Maybe ACE Hardware?

    A two-foot section of 1 1/2" (internal diameter) pipe will do perfectly.

    Cut a slit along the entire length, it will expand to fit your tubes

    That will give you a full circle of even banging power at a fraction of the cost of a driver.
