Carefully?

I've seen tools made out of waterpipe being touted on here before, I wonder whether anyone can rememeber how they were made?

from experience, my advice would be don't do it. If you want to lube the top bush, turn them upsode down. If you want to do more than that, take them apart.

The first and only scratch on my forks is where I lifted the seals.
