[Closed] 2003 Marzocchi Marathon SL fork - easy to fit new bushings or forget it?

looks like 100 quid-ish if I send them to TF Tuned, which is probably more than the fork is worth. So...I'm thinking that I should do it myself (where can I buy the spares?)

They're too good to chuck in the bin, so I'd like to sort them out.

Try Two Wheels, they serviced my 03 Marathon S, and 04 Marathon XC forks OK.

You can get the bushes and seals from CRC... then just give it a go... what have you got to lose?

As I understand it, it's most likely the top bush that needs replacing, which should be relatively easy. I'm thinking about doing this on my rattly Z1 FRs...

There is a rather expensive set of tools that help with the job, but the instructions I saw on MTBR implied that it could all be done without them, they just make it easier.
