I've noticed the front fork dust seals on my Bandit (650 SA K6) are perishing and splitting. While I've got the front wheel out for powder coating, I figured its a good time to replace them.

I've not done any work on the forks before, but it looks like it should be fairly easy:

- Remove calipers & ABS sensor (Already done)
- Remove mudguard
- Measure & mark current fork position
- Release clamping bolts (Upper & Lower)
- Drop forks out
- Prise out old dust seal
- Fit new dust seal
- Put it all back together again

Is that about it?

I don't really want to go taking the forks apart any more than I have to, but is there anything else I should think about doing while I've got the forks out?

Nope, that about covers it.
