Bottom Fork Bushing Fitting

[kquacker]

I have a leaking fork seal and disassembled the fork to fit a new one.
Am I right in thinking that the bottom bushing, which sits in a groove on the stanchion lower, should slide back into the fork leg ? cos it wont?  Does it need to be driven in ? The bushing looks fine.

For the life of me, I cant remember how I did them before

Its coming back to me ...It defo should slide in.

Talking to myself now.

Sounds  like you've solved it, but yes.

The one at the top of the lower leg normally needs to be driven in slightly as as it's sprung loaded to help it stay in place. The one at the bottom of the stanchion will slide into place with finger pressure. I always lube them with fork oil so they don't scratch or anything.
