That Vid is OK, but it aint even for a Honda Shadow.... Check these included Vids...
Here a cut from a previous post specific for Honda Shadows, its for a VT750 but your Honda VT600 wont be much diff if not almost exactly the same - Hey Its a Honda... and Two Wheel Rocco's Shadow Replace Fork Seals VID is the Greatest! It aint a dufficlut job at All...
I just did my fork seals (exactly like Rocco) for <$30 ($12 - 2 OEM forkseal & dustcover kits, + 1 liter Belray 15W fork fluid, all shipped to my door!)
And while I was doin the forks and had the calliper removed from the forkk I totally cleaned, inspected the caliper and and changed the brake fluid.
Not a tuff job at all (and from what i've read there only one o-ring in the caliper that can leak![and it's easy to replace])
Two Wheel Rocco! - he makes the job so simple - It's a beautiful thing...
(*and use a 1 1/2" Thin wall PVC pipe instead of the PVC pipe part# referenced in the vid!)
Part 1:
Part2:
Two Wheel Rocco, the absolute best vid i've watched on fork seaks!
All others i've watched (including my local honda shop), get the fork off, and wrestle it around on a bench, have trouble with the bottom bolt, clamp it, impact it, need special tools and make a simple job a real chore!
Now the secret to the whole job is:
As soon as ya get the front wheel off (while the fork is still champed int the triple tree) - reach up into the bottom of the fork with your extended hex socket and
POP THAT BOTTOM BOLT LOOSE! while it's still clamped in the top tree - and its all down hill after that!
(and ya never have to wrestle that fork around on bench or floor!)
(and always work on the fork in a Bucket! No mess!)
Hey, if your any kind a wrench , and follow Rocco's vid - It's easy and a Beautiful Thing... (ya gotta watch the Vid to understand: Its a Beautiful Thing)
