I have an oil seepage from one of my fork seals, the PO had the forks rebuilt two years ago ....after watching the how to on this, has anyone installed the seal using pvc tube rather than buying the seal driver tool..

I have driven fork seals into place without a fork seal driver many times. If you are patient, it is easy enough. I usually took an old fork seal and cut in half and place it upside down on the new seal and slowly drive it into place using a dead blow hammer and a flat dull tool.
Thanks guys....taking a close look at the fork tube I see some very fine scoring. So I tried to polish it out. I pulled the dust seal and looked at the fork seal with light, looks ok, i think I am going to need the tubes dam, or find used forks. Road test, still seeping.
