Hey all, I’m in the process of replacing the front a arm bearings and seals on my 2004 400ex. Picked up an upper and lower set from pivot works, and got the left side done last night.

I do have a few questions though. Most importantly is should the seals be flush with the outer edge of the a arm, or pushed all the way in as far as they’ll go? does it even matter? And secondly, is there an easy way to pull them damn snap ring out? Holy crap I fought them for a while before finally getting them out somehow.

Thanks
