Also is there any advantage to the all rubber Airete fork seals? Are then a wee bit more forgiving in the install? Lol are you getting the sense I am the proud owner of only one good fork seal?

Fork Seal Tool Suggestions
Hey guys, moving onto completing my fork rebuild and looking for advice at driving in the new fork seals on these tiny 31.5mm forks. Hoping not to buy a tool but given the leg size doesn’t look like the abs pipe trick will be the correct diameter to drive these seals. Any tips would be appreciated.

Re: Fork Seal Tool Suggestions
Can't you just use a socket of the appropriate size?

Tried an electrical tape trick using the leg as a slide hammer which didn’t work but as it turns out some gentle love taps with a small hammer put the seal in cleanly.
