Featured Sprint Fork Seal Kit??????

You are a peasant. You can do it. Plebeians unite.
It's always good to have a bit of extra time.

 

If you have a manual, you can read it & your tools didn't come out of a christmas cracker? You'll be fine mate!

 

Couple of tips ducky.
1. Create a good clean space to work in.
2. Support the front of the bike securely ( saw your post re the front stand).
3. Loosen the top yolk clamp but leave the bottom one secure. Makes getting the fork top nut loose easier.
4. With the fork out use an Allen key to undo the bolt holding the damper unit in place. Doing this with the top nut still on but loose and the spring under tension is much easier. Top tip, an impact driver is useful here to shock the bolt loose.
5. When you are ready to install the new seal drive it gently into place using the old one as a drift and be sure to use some electricians tape at the top of the stanchion so the new seal has no sharp edges to contend with as you slide it onto the stanchion. A bit of oil here will also help the seal to glide into place.
6. Be absolutely certain that the stanchion is 100% clean, any grit or rust will shag the new seal before it’s even had chance to do its job and you will be doing the job again sooner than you think.
7. When refilling with oil make sure the correct method is used to get the right level, some say spring in some say spring out, RTFM!
Other than that, it’s a piece of p!$$

 

I was just going to say, did you slacken the pinch bolts at the bottom of the forks.
It’ll be pretty tight, my Daytona is about 60Nm IIRC

 

Ideally get someone to steady the bike.
If that isn't possible? Stand in front of the bike with a leg either side of the front wheel. As you'll be pulling the wrench/breaker bar towards you. If you put your left hand on the front of the bike, you should be fine mate?

 

Don't forget to crack the nuts on the fork tops before you release the other fork clamps.

 

Yes mate, but also reminding you to loosen off the top nuts as well, if you don't do it before you take the fork leg out you'll never get them undone, just loosen off a couple of turns that's all.
The part that pinged off looks like half a washer, is the other bit still on the spindle?

 

Oh dear, that's fooked it!
Best get on e-bay & see if you can get another spindle by the look of that, the allen key might come out when you turn it the other way to tighten, but I would replace otherwise tyre changes are always gonna be a problem.

 

Duck, the front lifter should be in situ before you remove front wheel mate, looks like you may have to remove the black plastic bit between the forks to get the stand lug in under the bottom yoke, but if gently lift the front end back up you should be able to get the front stand in.
