Also, when replacing the seal due to failure, consider replacing the bushings as well.
My 02 Baghira (Marzocchi Magnum fork) blew the seal twice in less than 500km on the compression side. After replacing the offending seal AND the bushings in that leg, she is holding tight 3000+km later.
This is funny: The fork is almost identical to my Marzocchi Z2 mountain bike fork, but much bigger.

Good one with the improvised seal puller.
The dirt, black, is mostly metal particles mixed with the oil - that's why it's black-ish. Not many people change fork oil often enough.
PS: The 45mm for the bushings, is that 45 ID for the inner/tube ones and 45 ...OD/ID for the outer/slider ones?
phlat65 wrote:to remove the bushings on my USD forks, once the dust seal is removed and you remove the ring that retains the seal, just use the inner tube like a slide hammer, by sliding it out forcefully until both the seal and bushing come out. I have serviced forks many times this way, and is how my suspension guy would do it.
