Not without making a mess of the new seal and fork spacer IMHO.

You can borrow the tools off me if you pay postage.

Make sure they replace all the other consumable bits and bobs at the same time :!: They didn't do that the first time with mine. Within 30 miles all my fork oil was all over my brake disc and tyre :ill:

Come to think of it, they didn't even change the fork seals. I just asked them to change the oil, and assumed they'd change out all the seals :sad1:

When your firm asks people to take the oil from under the sea do they expect them to build a new rig if they weren't asked to ;)

Actually, after a bit more thinking (not easy after 2 G+T's), I paid for "fork refurbishment". They were supposed to change the seals. They attempted to change the seals but found they had the wrong seals in stock (for the older thinner forks) when they tried to fit them, so they put the old ones back in and didn't tell me.
