Everything looked pretty good when it was taken apart. The chrome on the inner tube was sound, Im not sure what is up. I installed the seals the same way they were put in before. I think they were in there for some time without leaking. I did install them with a bit of fork oil and used the old seals to tap them in with, evenly and gently. with a well padded and taped up screw driver. I made sure I took my time on this and the o ring popped back into place nicely and evenly. Its very frustrating lol! ive only had the bike for 5 mins and this has happened! I guess I may have to pay someone to do it. If i need new forks, I will be gutted.
