Did my Blade's a couple of weeks ago, invloved a few more choice parts/setting up - took a nadge over 3 hours. On an unfaired non-adjustable 125 front end, I'd estimate an hour to an hour and a half.

Use one of the old seals and a hammer+screwdriver to bash em in. Make things easier by slimming down the old seal with some heavy wet+dry first so it isn't a tight fit.

aggggggggg!! dont do that Razz

(some cackhanded dipshit did that with a previous bike, and missed, numerous times, if you must put a rag over it, or use something hard and plastic to bash it in)

Use a long length of plastic drain pipe,= slightly biger and slightly longer than the fork, slide over with the seal in place and bash to your hearts content..

Most o the cost for a garrage to fit them is the removal/refiting, so do that and take it to them to do it with the seal and oil and its not too pricey (unless you have toolage then do it yerself as they are simple enough)
