The one we got from Amazon isn't available anymore, but if you type "motorcycle fork seal driver" into the Google box or Amazon query - you'll find what you need!
Hey man, greeting from canada. I followed your video to a t, and it seems as though I may have messed up which parts go into the upper tube bs which go into the lower tube. Are you able to clarify? You video shows how they go together but not if the oil seal ect goes in the lower or upper fork tube. I attempted to rebuild my tubes and have had a heck of a time, any classification would be greatly appreciated thank you
Watch from about 6 minutes to 10 minutes again, this is a bear of a job. We ended finding it easiest to assemble the piston and the oil Stopper, then slide the upper tube into the lower, and drive that oil seal home into the lower fork (beveled portion). Add a c clip, and carry on. It helps to have more than 2 hands. Kyle did this one alone, but it took a long time to get it all lined up right.
Why not? It can be difficult and finicky, but if you follow the video it should go back together. Could be a 2 person job to hold stuff in place while you wrench things together
Thanks for the video!! Taking mine apart for powder coat! Looked for a video a couple weeks ago and don’t think I seen one so, perfect timing
Excellent! Best of luck and glad we can be here for you. Let us know how it turns out!
Did you remember to pump the fork up and down by hand several times before adding the spring to bleed the air out after adding the new oil
Yes! Good point. We need the air from the top during final assembly. Helps to prevent blown seals
I’m definitely using this video when I do mine I happen to have a 03 shadow spirit 750 I assume these are pretty much the same?
Very close. Let us know how it goes!
Wondering where I can get that seal setting kit you used?

How did you use that floor jack to lift the bike! I'm trying to do this job rn and can't figure it out
It's a specific floor jack, you won't have success with a regular one unless you build or buy an adapter
