ever thought about making one yourself?
on a show a while back they made on out of a piece of pvc pipe cut notches in it and put bands/zip ties around it to bring it to size
crude but it might work

it would probably just be a little harder to push the seal into place but since you can make it to extend past the fork tube you may be able to use a dead blow hammer to "tap" on the pipe

just read the how to article that tig wrote. you can use the axle carrier to hammer the pvc pipe. just make sure you get everything in there tight and your good to go

tigmaster · 12-09-2007, 03:08 PM

yes, use the fork tube as a hammer, either directly onto the seals or against the pvc.
