1986 GSXR-750.. need the fork seals replaced. I already have them.. wondering if anyone else has done this.. tips/tricks/advice anyone?
Can I just take the wheel off and take the lower sleeves off or do I need to drop both forks right out to do this ??

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

So if I were to look this thing up would I search for 'Suzukis' Special Tool' or would that bring up some weirdos porn site??? Hah.. if anyone hs the actual name that would be beneficaly.. and as for the manual let me share a wee story...

Me goes to the local dealer.. Unfortunealty they just dont stock original 1986 GSXR-750 manuals anymore.. and if they did (so says the mechanic) they cost about $100 each.. BUT they have a PHOTOCOPY of one for $59.99..

WHAT!? A bunch of freakin photocopies for $60?? Unfriggin likely.. The mechnaic shrugs "You'll save yourself an hour of labour and that'll pay for the book itself".. Hmm.. I'm thinking.. gee is it not only illegal to keep a photocopy of a manual and SELL it but for $60 I wouldnt buy that greasy monkeys ass for 5 minutes.... Now that I have a special 5.5mm allen key.. blah..
I think I'll just go to the library and photocopy the manual for $10.

But yeah.. whats the name for that 'Special tool'??
