Nice idea, but, what if your seals are leaking?

Surely the air would just escape through the leaking seal?

So whats the point of removing a perfectly good fork seal? Surely if took 70psi to pop it no oil would be leaking out?

as long as you can put more air in faster than whats leakin out you wont have a problem. the seal will get pushed out
