In principle, I would say that you can do this yourself. However, there is a need for some expertise and craftsmanship and you need the appropriate tool.

With the expertise and craftsmanship, I now doubt enough presence. Otherwise you wouldn’t ask which of the parts is the seal, I would say that it should be the 16. There is also a name that will then reveal. Fork-immersing rings are usually present in the set, with which there are usually also other guide/sealing parts.

With tools, you might have a tool box with such a few tools, which would make it possible to disassemble quite a lot. A problem, however, is welcome with the screws under 11. The screws 34 can be turned from outside, but the 11 must be prevented. For this counterholding, one usually needs a special key because the screw heads are very deep.

Alternatively, you could possibly disassemble the fork, but leave the immersion tubes (7) in it (in 5). But then the shimmer rings get out…

You’re right, that’s starting when the fork is dismantled. Then the immersion tubes must be cleaned very carefully. Insect residues are usually the cause of dense fork-immer rings. The dry hard tanks scratch the seal every time they are immersed. At some point, they also harden. Special care is also to be placed when the fork is filled with the fork oil. Both tubes must have exactly the same filling quantity, since otherwise a different immersion behavior would be the result. I already dare to do something, but I left my finger at my bandit 1200 S.

It doesn’t just need the 16, but the whole seal set.
