See manufacturer’s service instructions for disassembling the stock air spring and removing it 
completely from your fork.

Refer to the relevant factory service instructions up until you have removed the air spring from the 
stanchion.

Refer to the Factory service instructions for torque specifications, lubrication specifications and 
general disassembly/reassembly.

SOLO AIR SHAFT:

Remove seal head assembly, circular washer, 
wave washer and top out bumper from shaft. 

Take note of the orientation of the wave washer 
& flat washer (flat washer sits towards the top of 
the fork). 

Clean shaft with isopropyl alcohol.

Clamp shaft in 10mm shaft clamps with 30-
50mm of shaft sticking out above the clamp (so 
you are not clamping onto the threads). 

Make sure to clamp it nice and firmly. 
You don’t need to go nuts, but don’t pussyfoot 
around either, we don’t want it to slip.
