A fine video! and about what I did to change mine.
Indeed it is one of the easier jobs.
However when I did mine, the hex bolt on the brake hose crossover bridge
rounded so I had to cut and stretch the bracket holding the hose. My
recommendation is to always copper grease those bolts (and practically
every bolt I come across!).
Whilst the oil is only used for lubrication you don’t want to leave it too
long before changing the seal. I ran mine for about 1500 miles before
changing and whilst I didn’t really notice too much difference in handling
it flattened one side of the front tyre so required replacing.

thank you so much, your video’s are such a help to me,
Hey Kirk, watched just about all your videos and have done almost
everything, thanks. I remember seeing your purple Hyperpro spring in one
of the videos and you mentioning the vast improvement from fitment. My
front suspension is painfully harsh. Question: Where did you source your
springs? Any chance of a video(s) down the road…
Now added onto my list of things to do at the end of this riding season.
One of the easier jobs on the LT!
