Blew a seal on my argyle, do I need a special tool to install the new ones? I've never done anything involving fork repair, just put my spacer in.

I'm hoping I didn't break the motion control too..I pushed the blown seal back in and pumped it up to 150 but the fork still bottomed with no resistance.

assuming you have the 409? is it leaking oil out the wipers? or you may have blown an o ring out in the air chamber, more than likely the moco cartridge is fine

 

[ApolloCreed]

yes 409, no leaking.

 

[ApolloCreed]

so what do I need to repair?

 

[igz-]

Can you get a picture of it possibly?

That would greatly help me telling you what to do hahahahah

 

[ApolloCreed]

A picture of what? I pushed the seal back in the fork..the fork is still in one piece unless I need to start taking it apart

 

[igz-]

Oh... an actual fork seal...

I thought you meant like the solo air seal or something...

But if it bottomed with no resistance... probably did end up ****ing up a solo air seal

 

[ApolloCreed]

So I can just order a service kit? I'm going to take the fork apart for inspection tonight.

Fork is taken apart, nothing seems out of the norm. on soloair or motion control side, maybe one seal seems *alittle* loose but I cant see that blowing out the bushing/wiper/mainseal.
