Fork oil and paralever bearing tools

PIGGLET · Jun 7, 2007

Going to replace my fork seals and fnal drive bearings this afternoon.
Forgot to check what weight fork oil i need :blast

Is it 5W

Also do I need any special tools for the final drive bearings (paralever/pivot and wheel bearing) other than socket set and torque wrenches?

TIA

You've no need to change the fork oil when replacing the [URL="http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97873"]SEALS[/URL].

Use any grade, it isn't used for damping, just lubrication.

Sorry, been a stressfull day so far, 1100.

Cheers steptoe, There was oil on the fork legs when i got the bike so don't know how long they've been shot for.

Thought i'd drain and re-fill to be sure the level is correct.

Sorry proff

Bearings

You will also require a heat gun (screw fix £15.00.) also correct (large) spanners.
