Front Shock

I have TWO front shocks that I'm rebuilding. I expected the one that came on the scoot to be blown so I got another one a while back that looked much nicer. When pulling both apart, I found out that the one from my scoot was not blown but the other one had a lot of leaking fluid. I pulled both apart and am replacing the main seal on both. They're both getting blasted and repainted with new seals and new oil. Then I'll pick the better one for my GS and either store or sell the other one.
I made a tool to spin open the top of the damper cartridge. Two 1/8" dowel pins in a steel block. Later I found out that a pin spanner also works well.
