    I'm about to remove the lowers and clean the dust seals, but a few quick questions!

    Do i need new crush washers?
    I'm going to add 5ml of 7.5wt rock oil inot the lowers when i refit them, can i use this stuff on the foam rings as well? the instructions say to use float fluid but i dont understand why… I thought the 5ml you add to the lowers lubes the foam rings when the bike is inverted, so wont this just mix with the float fluid anyway?

    Cheers

    Did this yesterday for the first time.

    No but I'm going to get some for when they get damaged. They can't cost much. Can they? ;0)

    You probably can but it's nowhere near as thick so won't last. Buy the tub of float fluid and soak the ring in it then reinstall. A bit of mixing is probably one of the reasons your supposed to relube the foam rings every 15hours of use. Luckily it's dead simple if you follow the new Mojo way rather than popping the seals up like the fox manual.
