I've got a 2012 ST with a little over 16,000 miles on it. My right side fork seal is leaking. I've used my seal doctor on it but no go so it's time to take them apart( I figure if one is leaking, it's only a matter of time before the other one goes-I'll rebuild both of them). My first time doing this but after searching/reading this site I've ordered parts/tools and am going to try to tackle this job myself. I'm sure I'm going to have more questions as I get further along in this but for now-While the forks are still on the bike, will I do any harm by loosening the cap bolt(#1 on page 4-82 and the Damper Rod Assembly Bolt#10). I don't have a vise and I was thinking I'd just use the bolts holding the forks on the bike for my vise(if that makes sense). Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
Pete
