HELP, How do I clean hte seals on my MX COMP????:?!!
Hey everyone,
I just got a new fork with my One Hun, and I think i ****ED the seals. In the marzocchi book it says to pry them off with a screwdriver. I started to, but I think i tore the seal!! WTF. When the seals come out, is it just some piece of rubber. I dont want to do anymore damage (if i did) to the fork, and I need to clean them before I ride next!!!!! I jammed the screwdriver down, then try to pry them off, but NO luck. I need halp ASAP, i hope my fork is not screwed.

It's dam near impossible to remove the seals with the stanctions in without damaging something. I don't know why they recomend it in the manual. I would take it appart to check the screwdriver didn't damage the stanction and to see if the seal needs replacing.
There should be tech manuals that show how to dissasemble the fork on the marzocchi site.
