Noticed the right fork seal is leaking

[motolink]

Was about to go for a ride this morning and while checking the tyre pressure I notice some oil on the front tyre. A closer look and I saw right side fork seal leaking.

Removed the fork seal dust cover and gave the fork a good wash and clean.

How difficult is it to dismantle the fork and replace the seal. Are any special tools needed.

You might get away with just using a sealmate, i just copied the design and cut it out of a milk container

I used a very thin feeler gauge do get under the seal lip to clean out any dirt that might have been the cause. Went for a 25km ride, seems ok now, will see how it is after standing for while.

I done the same with the thinnest feeler gauge in the set, recommend first before any dismantling.
