NOTICE
When replacing seals and o-rings, use your fingers or a pick to remove
the seal or o-ring. Spray isopropyl alcohol on each part and clean with
a rag. Apply grease to the new seal or o-ring. Only use RockShox®
Dynamic Seal Grease when servicing RockShox shocks.
To prevent damage to the shock use aluminum soft jaws and position
the eyelet in the vise so that the adjustment knobs are clear of the
vise jaws. For bearing mount shocks, wrap a rag around the eyelet,
then clamp the eyelet flat into the vise.
Inspect each part for scratches. Do not scratch any sealing surfaces
when servicing your suspension. Scratches can cause leaks.
Install the Counter Measure™ onto the damper body. Apply RockShox
Dynamic Seal Grease to the seal head/air piston seals.
NOTICE
If a brush is used to apply grease, confirm there are no loose bristles in
the grease or on the part.
Remove the shock from the vise, turn it over and clamp the damper
body eyelet in the soft jaws.
Inject 1 mL of Maxima® Maxum4 Extra 15w50, or half a pillow pack,
along the internal wall of the air can before installing the air can onto
the damper. Firmly press the air can up until the sealhead/air piston is
inserted into the air can.
⚠
CAUTION- EYE HAZARD
Oil will eject out of the openings as you install the air can onto the
damper. Wear safety glasses.
Inject another 1 mL of Maxima® Maxum4 Extra 15w50, or the rest of the
pillow pack, into the air can.
