Motorcycle front shock absorber oil seal replacement method: 1. Remove the dust cover and use a screwdriver to pry off the retaining ring; 2. Carefully observe the small groove mark on the oil seal—the groove should face upward. Install the new oil seal in this orientation; 3. Reinstall the retaining ring, then the dust boot. First, fit the dust boot onto the outer tube, then insert the inner tube. Shock absorber oil leakage is a normal occurrence and generally does not affect performance much, but over time, reduced oil levels can negatively impact handling. Additionally, if the leakage is significant, oil may drip onto the brake disc, which is hazardous. The oil seal is the conventional term for a sealing component that retains lubricating oil. It is a mechanical element designed to seal grease, isolating the parts requiring lubrication from the output components to prevent oil leakage.
