PVC pipe fine, clean the lowers well before installing them. Will give more info later when I have time. I have done this many times, first time was a bich though.
Masterblaster I am doing the same rebuild this weekend (5 days of rain wife out of town). I only have 37500 miles on the clock but I am replacing the lowers with new ones I bought on this forum. How did the rest of the build go? Any special tools mandatory? How did your bushings, seals and springs look. I am planning on buying all new wear parts and seals just so I don't have to find out they aren't in stock at the stealer.
I am looking at prices on the fork clamp and seal driver but have heard PVC pipe works for the driver. I hate spending the ridiculous money on some of the special tools when they are not needed.
I don't have ABS so I think my wheel will go on either way but the rotation recommendation arrow on the tire would be wrong.
