I used a 24" piece of PVC pipe that I cut length wise to install the fork seals on my bike a few years ago when freshened up the forks. Works like a charm

 

Leaky seals help prevent rusty fork tubes.

Question. When I thought I was gonna have to disassemble my forks, 2018 FLTRX, I ordered a fork seal driver. It came in the mail I set it on the shelf and didn’t need it.

while straighten up I noticed on the label it had “Dyna 2006…. “.
The size is correct. I didn’t catch the Dyna, must have been a beverage involved.

You gents know it this tool will work with the glide? I’m guessing a tube isn’t just a tube..

 

Dyna forks are smaller. Wont work.

 

Never have understood why this always seems to be such an ordeal. Any time I've had to do a set I just wet the outer edge of the seal with a little fork oil, and press them in by hand.

 

It’s never an ordeal when you have the right tool. And I’ve never done it. Hence the post.
The ordeal is will this tool work down the road, or should I give to a forum member with a Dyna.
Maybe after I do it, or see it done, assist etc…. I’ll say hell, who needs a fucking tool.
Until then, It’s mere a tiny little issue in my world.

I don’t post my ordeals on the web.

You may solve my big ordeal.

 

Looks like it's good for custom forks and Dyna on the description. They probably made this tool before HD changed the Tour bike shocks from 41mm to 49 mm witch is what Dyna's changed to back in 2006.
So this tool will work for Dyna models 2006 up and newer baggers with 49mm forks and of course custom applications and other manufacturers bikes with forks those sizes.

 

Those are nice set. I have the smaller 43mm set. Of coarse 1 time use on the Aprilia Tuono. Now it just sits there collecting dust

 

I just tried this method when I added the PA fork kit last week. Worked easily. Only cost $2. This kind of thing usually never works out for me, but it sure did this time.
