Fork oil seals

[amcjam]

Hi guys

While in the process of removing a fork oil seal, I have put a couple of scores on the bore where the seal sits, they are not deep scores. Do I just leave them, or give then a light rub with fine wire wool.
Thanks in advance

No harm to give them a light rub to take off the rough edges. How deep are they? A photo would help! Also, I'd wait for another opinion. I've changed fork seals twice but I'm no expert.

If it was me, I'd rub off the burrs and stick the seals in.

Looks like a screw driver has been used to get the old seal out

The oil is only there to lube the stantion.

I guess you have already assembled and I don't think you will have a problem. In future I would give a smear of non setting sealant on outside edge of seal to be on safe side. http://www.hylomarsealant.com/
