OT: ducati fork seal help
Hey there o wise ones of PP ,
I'm going to help a friend change the fork seals on a 2003 ST4S with Showa forks. Anyone done these before, do I need any special tools? Tia

If they are the same USD Showas that the Futura uses you can get by if you have a well equipped garage. I break everything loose while the forks are still clamped in the triple trees & then pull them off & work on the bench. Be sure to rinse out the internals & drain well so you get an accurate measurement when refilling. Follow the procedure for bleeding air in the service manual if you have one if not I can send you the info in the Aprilia manual.

I don't have any manual for the bike. The service dept. tell my friend that you need some kind of a puller?
