    you can buy the tool for around 20 euros here, but yes it's a bit expensive for one time. If you're really careful you can push the bush and seal in place with a hammer and a screwdriver. But it's easy to f*ck up and you don't want to be found by a friend or a neighbour doing it so lock the door before you start.

    I use Valvoline Fork oil 10W. 

    thanks captain can you post the link for the tool again its not workin thats not a bad price

    I'm afraid it does not make them ttougher  but what it actually does is make the gears engage and stay locked and not bounce back apart or jump out of gear however you wish to call it.

    cheers jonny i always thought it made the gears tougher wearing
