Thought I would service my fox 32 vanillia with new wipers etc but I was unable to remove the lower legs . The right side 10mm threaded stud at the bottom of the fork was stuck to the lowers for some reason , i have removed the crush washers and nuts and used a soft headed hammer . Also on the left stantion there is quite alot of wear , i;m quite sure this is a bad sign , your help would be great, bought these second hand so dont know if they have ever been serviced ????

the service instructions on both the Fox and Enduro fork seals web sites recommend that you slacken off the foot nuts a couple of turns max then give them a sharp tap with a soft faced mallet to project the faces
I'd recomend looking through there guides once before attempting anything...
stanction wears not a good sign, but doesn't mean the end of the useful life of the fork, it's probably a waste to fit new seals if the stanctions are badely worn, but you can certainly squeeze some useful life out of even badly worn ones through doing a top and bottom lubrication service on them until you make up your mind if you want to invest in new stanction's and bushes
