    Anyone want to help me change fork oil/seals in CO Springs?

    As title states. I need to do fork seals/oil on a set of ZX14 forks. I have the forks off the bike. I've got plenty of tools (minus a factory fork compressor) and I've heard it's a fairly easy job to do, just looking for someone to come give me some guidance. I've got some extra beer in the fridge you can drink too. I can also bring the forks (and beer) over to your garage if you prefer. Can anyone help me out with this?

    Two words that will make all the difference in the world, Seal Driver.
    I've got more flavor than a packet of macaroni.

    Well I managed to get it done on my own. A friend of mine told me a trick to save a HUGE amount of time. Flip the fork over, use an impact to take out the hex head bolt on the bottom. The lower then pulls right out. Change the seals, drain/re-fill fluid, slide lower back in and VOILA. I was done with both forks in like 20 minutes.
