[QUOTE="Pr1malr8ge, post: 72435, member: 16"] those forks are cartridge forks.. you need a fork oil level tool. You don't need a seal bullet.. Just cut a zip lock bag on the corner to make a paramid type thing to go over the fork tube.. You also need seal grease.. Lets see here you need a vise with soft jaws and a seal driver.. 5wt is the standard weight used.. and as far as oil level goes I can't answer it.. I think the last set I did like yours was around 140mm? Shit I can't remember.. when I say 140mm is not the amount of oil put in but the level the oil is from the top of the leg.. When you start you need a pen and paper.. write down how many clicks it takes to open up the clickers or to bottom out doesn't matter but before dissesembly you don't want the clickers bottomed out but in the full open position. You may also find that seperating the leg from the tube impossible.. [make sure the retaining clip underneath the dustwiper is removed] You may need heat applied to them to get them to seperate..
