Hiya,
I've recently stripped down a set of Bombers and changed the oil and seals. I neglected to grease the oil and dust seal before re inserting the stanchions as I read somewhere that the forks were open bath and therefore everything would nicely self lubricate. After re assembly, the forks do feel a little bit sticky.
Have I made a terrible mistake? Do I need to drain the oil, remove stanchions and grease the seals?

Does this mean I need to re do them again and this time stick some grease in? I'm guessing yes.
