Simplify Your Suspension Maintenance and Protect Your Equipment

The Fork Seal Remover is designed to make the maintenance of your fork suspension efficient, safe, and hassle-free. This tool is crafted specifically for removing dust seals from MTB forks, ensuring precision and ease with every use.

 

The conventional way of removing the brush-wiper seals is by prying them out with a small metal lever. By using a purpose-specific tool, a user removes the chances of scratching or denting the fork lowers, which can occur with improvised tools.

 

We do not recommend re-using dust wiper seals, even if they remain intact after removal using our tool.

 

The ALL 6 SIZES option comes with the option for a Hard Carrying Case and custom Foam Inserts for an additional $63. Hard case sold separately at $76.

Key Features:

 

🛡️Protection for Your Fork:

 

Damage Prevention: Traditional methods can risk scratching or denting your fork. The Fork Seal Remover ensures dust seals are removed cleanly without damaging your suspension fork.

 

High-Quality Construction: The components of this tool that come into contact with your fork are constructed from high-strength thermopolymers. This design ensures that, in the event of an exceptionally stiff or stubborn dust seal requiring excessive force for removal, the tool is engineered to prevent potential damage to your expensive fork lowers.

 

🔧Precision and Control:

 

Mechanical Advantage: This tool uses a screw mechanism to provide the necessary leverage to pull out the dust seals, making the process less labor-intensive and reducing the risk of damage compared to using basic tools like wrenches or tire levers.

 

Even Force Application: The design ensures that force is applied evenly around the seal, preventing deformation or damage to the fork lowers.

 

By using this purpose-specific tool, the challenging task of removing dust seals from a fork becomes manageable and less risky. This tool represents a significant improvement in the process, ensuring that both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts can perform fork maintenance with confidence and precision.

 

Enhance Your Maintenance Routine

 

Ensure your fork performs at its best with regular maintenance using the Redside Custom Tools Fork Seal Remover. Its precision design and user-friendly features make it an invaluable addition to your bike toolkit.

 

Seal Removal Method:

 

The threaded rod is being turned, which in turn exerts upward force on the dust seal. This force is necessary to overcome the friction and potential adhesion holding the seal in place.

 

Inventor's Comment:

 

A lot of viewers online think the purpose of the Seal Remover is to remove the dust wiper seals and keep them intact so that you can "re use them". This is not the intention behind the tool. It is typical for the dust wiper seals to be replaced every 50 hour service. The intention behind the Seal Remover is to prevent damage to the $800-$1,500 lower leg fork that is made of alloy aluminum, which is easily scratched by harder metals you may find in the conventional tools.

 

The second big part is to make it easier for people to remove the seals, so it doesn't require the body-weight strength of a 180 lbs (80 kgs) man to pry it out and launch the seal into the ceiling. Even if you do have the strength for this, it is clumsy and quite brutish for such delicate equipment, leading to risk of damage. While not all seals are this stiff, some of the really stuck seals (in my experience) can be like this.
