My R6 has busted Fork Seal need help.

With the right tools, I thought doing the seals and bushings on my forks was a piece of cake. Improvising a spring compressor (you may not need that) and a seal driver made it a pain in the ass. I finally bought the spring compressor, and I'll definitely be buying a real seal driver for next time. You might end up spending $50 on tools, but that's way cheaper than the shop, and you'll get a good idea of how your forks work while you're in there.
