I finally looked up the procedure. There are all several special tools needed to actually replace the seal. So I think this is something I will have to get a bike shop to do. Dern.
Had another 3 incidents of leaking (left, then right, then right), then using Seal Mate. Seems to fix it only a random amount of time before one or the other seal will leak again, no matter how carefully I keep the tube clean.
I finally got around to calling my local non-dealer about it. $300 parts and labor for replacing the seals, which seems reasonable. However, he was asking me about the slight damage I can feel with my fingernail on the lower, front side of each tube. They can’t know if the tubes really need replacing until they are removed. If they do need replacement, the tubes are $536 EACH!!!!!! So it could cost me over $1436!! I had no idea it could be that insanely expensive. Plus, they are running 3 weeks behind and getting worse.
Has anyone actually had to replace the tubes before due to a few nicks? Could a few nicks really result in such an extreme expense??? I have a feeling I will wait until Fall, if I can, have only the seals replaced and take my chances that the few nicks will not damage new seals.
