Fox Seal Driver Tool

This pricey bit of kit is a necessary evil if you wish to install dust wipers without damaging them. It fits the seal on it perfectly, and it sits nicely in the fork outer tube to help get the alignment right. With the seal sitting in place I was able to drive it home by tapping on the head of the tool with a hammer. Worked first time, didn't need to buy more dust wiper seals. Once you've bit the bullet and bought the tool you will have it for life. The only down side is if any future fork you own isn't the equivalent Fox model (in my case the Fox 32), then you'll need to buy another seal driver tool.

This tool is a must have if you are installing the new type of Fox Forks dust seal. I am a Fitter by trade and have installed many seals using sockets and plates, but I guarantee that you will not install the new Fox seal correctly or without damage without this tool, as the new Fox seals have a metal outer shell not rubber like the original seals. Do youself a favour and purchase this tool if you are installing the new Fox fork seals, the bitterness of a damged seal will last longer then the purchase price of this tool.

This tool seems pretty much essential to replace the dust seals on Fox Float forks. The tool I received is different to the one shown but seems to be a better design. I needed a mallet to drive the seals in and, with a large head on top, the tool seems to have been designed for that purpose. The seal fit snugly in a recess in the tool and the tool drives the seal in perfectly straight. Gave 4 stars because it's a little expensive and I don't like being forced to buy a tool to do a job that should be possible without it.
