hmmm lost a lot of oil at some point...
GO on my son - get a few beers down you first though 😀
Thinking back retrospectively it was fairly straight-forward when I did it. Felt like brain surgery at the time though. Careful you don't pull the yellow foam wipers out if over enthusiastically cleaning the inside of the lowers - total pain in the ass to get back in. And have some circlip pliars if you want to service motion control - I haven't so didn't. Just a clean and oil change made a big difference to the feel of mine, and you feel smug that you didn't spend £100 sending them to tft.
yup, supping on some cider to steady the hands... circlip pliers- check
smug that you didnt spend £100 sending them to TFT- ask me later! ;D
any hints how to 'lever' the lowest black oil seals out?
buggers wont budge...

I used a hairdryer to warm them up, then used a big screwdriver wrapped in an old tea towel to lever them out
