lower legs, contact an Authorized FOX Racing Shox Service Center or FOX Racing Shox for further instructions. Grasp the
lower legs at the drop outs (axle). Push the fork straight back towards the rear wheel. Then pull it towards you. There should
not be any free movement or clicking sounds. Next grasp the fork near the upper tube/seal junction and try the same thing.
Once again there should be no free movement. If any movement is noticed, refer to page 4 of this manual and contact FOX
Racing Shox or and Authorized FOX Racing Shox Service Center.
