Thank you profoundly! :)

    4:31 Dust seals must be replaced every 50 hours. If you dont do it, you are risking the failure of the dust seal where the spring seats. That will result in a direct contact between spring and upper leg. If this happens when you are riding, then you are going to have an upper leg scratched by the spring since the leg will be moving up and down against the spring. Dust seals are not to be inspected just by looking.... You cannot see their internal material fatigue. You got to remove it every 50hrs in order to avoid this particular damage of the plastic spring seat being bended / taken away / broken by the spring .... The 50hrs kit is there not to avoid it. It is there to buy it for some reasons. Good luck!

    Good job and it's alwas surprising how smooth even these cheaper forks like the Tora, XC32 and Recon are after a complete service. The solo Air spring hasn't changed remarkably since then, nowadays they just come with grease. I always use both grease snd some drops of oil for the air chamber.

    Much easier than you'd think. Take your time. Makes for a smoooth operating fork! big difference if oil is old. There aren't parts that are easily put in backwards, dropped, springs that jump out and that kind of thing. Easy out, easy in. I've done a few (RS Blackbox, Foxes, all easy enough, even if you are, like me, not mechanically inclined). Revise that "tap gently with mallet," to "beat the snot out of that bolt," as that is sometimes the case, it slowly works loose after many medium taps.

However if your down tubes are pitted slightly or missing chrome, or the coating, it's better to replace the whole fork. Some rebuildable gas forks require nitrogen instead of air.
