In the IT world we call it "scope creep", the tendency for a project to grow far beyond it's original specifications. I was just trying to do my front brakes on my 250SX. I had to jump off a 19-story building onto my breaker bar to get the front axle bolt out, and then found that I need wheel bearings. Ok, those are cheap and pretty easy, so I can live with that.
So I'm sitting there looking at the hub and holding onto the right fork, and my hand comes away all oily. So I've got a leaking fork seal, and the boots are ripped anyway so maybe I should redo the forks while I've got things apart.
Sigh.
So I have a couple questions about that. First, are there any vendors that sell fork seals or rebuild kits or whatever? Same for fork boots. There's a vendor on Ebay that has some that are supposed to fit anything, but I find that hard to believe. I would like to get as close to original (black) as possible.
Also, is this a difficult job? I removed the cap and the clamp bolts on the right side, but the fork tube didn't move. S'pose I need a manual....
