I had issues with the all balls seals as well. They worked fine after I figured out which way they went in. But not before I installed one the wrong way and got a fork oil bath the 1st time I compressed the fork.
I love the smell of Blue Marble in the morning!

The short answer is polyurethane caulk.

The very long answer is in a three-part video on my YouTube channel if you can bear to watch :smt005

Here is video one.

The second video is up. The third video will be posted tomorrow morning.

This spring can be tough to remove. I stuffed a bunch of pennies into the spring while it was stretched in the down position.

Then put the side stand back up and the spring came right off.

Great trick with the pennies... there is still a use for those! Thanks for sharing.

Far from perfect but a lot was learned this time around. My next one will be better.

The seat looks great! Bet it feels a lot better too!
