My mechanic was going to charge me way more than the price of this kit, which included the piston removal tool. AND I got to learn so much about how my bike works in the process. Going through the TJ Brutal vid step by step was also ridiculously helpful.
Love the tool and everything fit great
I’m a novice when it comes to working on bikes. So glad I took the plunge and do it on my own. his way I know more about my bike and how shit works and goes together. I took my time and cleaned the shit out of all the pieces - not sure a shop would have put as much effort into as I did. Plus I saved at least a couple hundo doing myself.
Never rebuilt forks before but with this kit and the YouTube video I was able to knock it out and it worked flawlessly.
Everything I needed to rebuild the forks on my 2003 VLX600. You will need something to knock the copper sleeve and oil seal into the top of the shock housing. I used an old bearing race I had at my shop but TJ uses a piece of 1½ PVC pipe to do it in his video. Thanks TJBC!
