Description
Dust Wiper Remover *it’s definitely not a ¾ in. combination wrench*
Also Known As: 19mm combination wrench
Often Used With: Bicycle Fork Seal Press
Intended Uses
The open end of a 19mm combination wrench is widely regarded as the finest tool to remove dust wipers from your lowers. A ¾ inch wrench is very very close in size to 19mm (five hundredths of a millimeter, smaller).
When servicing your suspension forks and replacing old dust wipers, this tool is great to have.
Special Instructions
Varsity move: lay down a rag between the dust wiper remover and your lowers when you leverage out the dust wiper (if the dust wipers are recessed) to mitigate against scratches on the lip of the lower.
