And thanks for the links, Mav! If I stumble across anyother special tools that I HAVE to have, I'll know where to check first.... lol

So the tool came last night.... 5 minutes and the seals were set.... lol

I ran out of time today so I jsut put the forks back together. I was looking at lube points in the manual and noticed that it said during reassembly the wheel bearings should be greased (well, I guess if they need it) I was wondering if regular bearing grease was the right type or is there something else I should use... The manual actually calls out grease in a few different areas of the bike but after searching the manuals it never spells out what types....

Any thoughts?

These are sealed wheel bearings. Check the feel of the bearing, if notchy, replace as a set.
