Remoov the old ones and put in new ones
they shouldn't.. you need to replace the fork seals
To replace fork seals on a 1968 Triumph 650, you need to remove the front tire so that you can access the forks. The next step is to loosen the clamping bolts where the forks connect to the frame. Use the right amount of fork oil required in the owner's manual. Replace and tighten the forks.
Having problems with the brase bushing, cannot slide forks back in, HELP!
If the forks are badly scuffed then you need to either replace or get them resurfaced,otherwise it will just keep poping the seals. No matter what you do.
Remove wheel, fender. Remove Allen bolt at bottom of fork with impact wrench, it usually will not come loose, if you are trying it by hand unless you stick the special tool down into the top of fork tubes. (I use a broom handle), remove dust seals on fork legs, remove circlip, carefully remove oil seals, replace them, and reverse procedure for reassembly, add oil to fork tubes. Bubba
