Description
Abbey Fork Seal Press Kit of 6. This set includes six drivers of varying size that correspond to your bike’s stanchion diameter and a handle. Driver sizes:
- 32 mm
- 34 mm
- 35 mm
- 36 mm
- 38 mm
- 40 mm
This set includes a one-of-a-kind “Bike Doc Kit” hard case.
Often Used With: Mallet, Bike repair stand, Open ended wrench
Intended Uses
Made for installing dust wipers on bicycle suspension forks. The drivers are meant to use the fork bushing as a guide to set the seals on straight.
Special Instructions
To set the seals, slide the wiper seal up the driver to the lip, insert the driver into the stanchion, then try to set the seal by pressing down on the driver handle. If it’s a really tight fit, try tapping on the top of the driver handle with a plastic or wood mallet (not a hammer). The lip of the driver should prevent the seal from being set too low into the stanchion.
