Gentlemen, you had my curiosity… but now you have my attention!
fork oil seal was created by alzo
Hi,
Has anyone ever changed this seal?
if you did how to change it so that it doesn't breake?
Can't find a catalogue number only for the hole cylinder set.

Here it is mentioned part number 4, but no mention of testing it. I’d suggest contacting a company like Sonic that deals with forks. They might have an answer.

If you are going to the trouble of disassembling the forks to a point where you could measure the seal, does it not make sense to just replace them and be done with it?Is there a way to determine the wear factor? I wouldn't bother changing it if it is still in the wear factor range.
I assume that it should have larger OD than the metal OD. How much are we talking about?
