Front fork seals

Question: Why do the fork seals have to be such tight fit in the sliders? Everybody seem to struggle to remove them! Why not grind the seal's metal housing down to provide a much looser fit? After all the seal holders, I guess thats how they got their name, will keep the seals in place? Comments welcome?

Don't be daft Tommo, the oil will spurt/ooze/flow around them (depending how much you grind off)Edited by - Biscuit on 22 Jul 2007 3:41:07 PM

I wasn't thinking of taking that much off, but of course I get your point!
