959 and Grb shocks

[Biscuit 0]

Hi all, has anybody managed to change the oil seals in their shocks on the Porsche 959 or Toyota Grb ? mine leak so bad and I just cant see how you remove the seals.

Many thanks

If you mean the ones built into the bottom of the damper cylinder (SA11), then I don't think you can. They're similar to the front dampers on a Wild One - which I tried to replace and just ended up trashing the damper cylinder. If you're good with your hands, you might be able to do a better job than I did though - I think the O rings are put in place and then the end of the damper is "pressed" around the base to seal it in during manufacture. All I did was get a very small screwdriver in and pry it open...
