Review on πŸ”΄ High-Performance Seal Doctor - Risk Racing 00-121, Red, Large (45mm - 55mm) by Adam Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I've read that seals aren't bad in most cases. It's just that they have a damn that allows it.

I have had leaky fork oil seals since the summer. This spring I wanted to break them and replace them so I could ride again. I asked the dealer how much it would cost and they charged almost $300 to replace both seals. That's when I started searching online how to make it yourself. I've read that seals aren't bad in most cases. They only have dirt inside them that will allow oil to pass through the seal. There is a cheaper tool you can buy. Or you can make your own from a plastic coke bottle. But I wanted something more substantial. Something I could keep in my saddlebag and use for routine maintenance. Here is the tool. It snapped right onto my fork tube. (After removing the dust cover.) It removed both the gasket and the dust cover in just a few turns. I've rocked my bike back and forth a few times and removed a small amount of oil. I took my bike for a short ride and my forks were clean. No oil! I recommend this product to everyone. This saved me about $275.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • There are problems
