Hi All,
I've just bought some new dust seals for a set of SR Suntour XCT 28mm forks and they fit on the stanchions fine, but are too big to fit into the holes of the lower.
The seals I bought are advertised as - XCT Front Fork Wiper Dust Seal 28mm-XCT Front Fork Repair8340:

• XCT 28mm stanchion wiper:Compatible with 28mm stanchion fork
• XCT 28mm stanchion wiperart# FAA125-40

The seals that I took out have a bottom size diameter of approx 30mm (to fit in the lower) - a very flexible seal
The new seal have a bottom size diameter of approx 34mm (to fit in the lower) - very rigid seal

The lower seems to have a metal collar inserted (see attached pic) and I'm wondering does this come out to allow the new seals to fit?

If not I'm struggling to find the correct seals and would appreciate any advice.

Thanks all
