    Learn how to replace the fork seals on a Honda Goldwing. This is a 2007 Goldwing, and this job started as just a fork seal replacement. As we dug into the forks during disassembly, we found other parts that needed to be replaced.
    We’ll start by removing the brake calipers, fender, and wheel. Then we’ll remove the various brackets from the fork. Next, we’ll show you how to remove the instrument cluster to access the top of the fork, which will allow you to remove the fork. Once removed, we’ll show you how to disassemble and evaluate the parts inside the fork and then get them replaced. Once we finish the rebuilding the fork on our Goldwing, we’ll show you how to get it filled with fluid and then get the right and left sides of the fork back on the motorcycle.
    NOTE: The two sides of the fork have slightly different designs. To see individual fork rebuilds:
    Left fork rebuild - 7:44
    Right fork rebuild - 22:20

    This is the BEST Honda fork seal replacement video on RUclips. Very detailed explanation, audio and camera work. The most unique part is the method he uses to loosen the bottom bolt for the damper rod. Nobody else does it this way, which makes perfect sense without special tools. What really kind of blow me away is that the Goldwing has a Damping Rod Suspension - Exc. for anti-dive, no preload, rebound or compression damping adjustments at all for this bike that is famous for it's comfortable ride!

    you are so easy to listen to, you make a tough job easy. i was not going to tackle this but after watching your video a few times i ordered my parts. laptop went into the garage and you walked me through it.

    Your attention to fork alignment is impressive, particularly when installing the axle bolt and the upper brace. I've watched lots of fork seal replacement videos and yours is the only one that mentions alignment and how to test for sticktion. You certainly are a master mechanic. Kudos to you.

    Great video, among the best instructional videos I've seen on any topic. However, you definitely DO NOT have to have this specialty seal driver. The seals go in rather easily, as shown in the video. I was able to use 1.5" schedule 40 PVC couplings which are nearly a perfect fit; and I had a short length (about 20") of 2" schedule 40 PVC pipe. Together these allowed me to very easily tap in the seals. Thanks John and Partszilla for a wonderful service.

    For the seal driver I just went to hardware store and got a piece of copper tubbing that was the right diameter. Worked great. I thing it was $6

  • @Uts9000

    my 2 cents...the seal install tool can be made from a piece of PVC pipe also, I have found it beneficial to smooth the chrome on a buffing wheel with jewelers rouge . The pits and scratches will ruin a new seal.

    Next time try dipping the existing Allen key into valve lapping compound. Super gripping. Works on Phillips like a dream!

    Well shot, comprehensive video about fork seal replacement. I was able to follow it and replace mine referring to video time and again. Thanks to Revzilla for this content - they're making some really great content and I'll be showing them some loyalty.

    Great video and helped me with the fork seals on my 2010 GL1800. I need to clean my screen from pausing the video with greasy gloves. The seals I used were slightly different but your explanations were spot on. Time to ride!!!

    On a 2001, I didn't need to pull the instrument cluster to get the cover off and get at the pinch bolts. This video was awesome. You certainly are a good teacher. Thanks

    Thank you. I noticed my fork seals are leaking today and this video will give me the confidence to do this myself. (Never done this sort of thing.) The part list is very helpful. You have a new Partzilla customer!

    By far the most detailed and best video I've ever seen on any fork seal replacement job! This video almost makes me want to tackle it myself. Still internally debating.
