QUICK GUIDE TO INSTALLING
ENDURO “CLASSIC” FORK SEALS
IN MARZOCCHI FORKS
Use a Fork Seal Removal Tool (we recommend Pedro’s DH
Tire Lever) to get under the wiper only and pry it out.
On top of the oil seal,
you will normally nd a
“c-clip” that keeps the
oil seal in place. Use a
screwdriver to pry the
open ends of the clip
inward and then pull
the clip out.
Use the Fork Seal Re-
moval Tool to pry out
the old oil seal.
We highly recommend
the use of our seal and
wiper press tool. Place
the new oil seal on the
angeless side of the
press tool.
Be sure that the
GROOVED side of the
seal (that has the garter
spring inside it) is facing
toward the inside of the
fork as pictured.
Use a suspension assembly
grease such as Slickoleum or
Rock ‘n’ Roll Super Slick grease
to grease the inside of the seal
head.
Also grease the outside
of the new oil seal.
Start the pilot of the
seal press tool into the
upper bushing of the
fork until the oil seal is
resting inside the seal
head.
Rest the bottom of the fork legs
against a padded, rm surface (a
couple of folded up shop towels on
top of a workbench will do).
Use a fairly heavey rubber-faced
mallet to deliver one or two sharp
blows to fully seat the oil seal.
You’ll know it’s fully seated when
you can see the c-clip groove above
the oil seal.
Replace the oil seal
retaining clip into its
groove in the seal
head. Be sure that the
clip fully expands into
the groove all the way
around.
Start the new wiper onto the
anged end of the seal and
wiper press tool.
Slide the wiper up the
press tool until the leading
edge of the wiper is under
the ange.
Grease the outer edge
of the new wiper.
Start the pilot of the
seal press tool into the
upper bushing of the
fork until the wiper is
resting against the seal
head opening.
Rest the bottom of the fork legs against
a padded, rm surface (a couple of fold-
ed up shop towels on top of a workbench
will do).
Use the rubber-faced mallet to deliver
one or two sharp blows to fully seat the
wiper. You’ll feel when the wiper stops
moving.
Note: Try to strike the press tool more
squarely than pictured!
The oil seal and wiper are now properly installed.
Grease the inside of the oil seal before continuing with the
reassembly of your fork.
