FRAME ASSEMBLY

Make sure your tools are in good condition. 
A worn allen key can round the hex on a bolt 
not allowing for proper torque.

Torque settings are listed throughout the 
instructions. It is important to prep all bolt 
threads. The instructions denote whether to 
use a Loctite compound or grease.

YETI TIPS

TOOLS NEEDED

Warning: Service on Yeti bicycles requires special knowledge 
and tools. Yeti Cycles recommends that all service and 
repairs be performed by an authorized Yeti Dealer

• 2.5mm allen key
• Two - 5mm allen keys
• Two - 6mm allen keys
• 10mm allen key
• Guide pin tool
• Grease
• Blue (242) Loctite
• Pink (222) Loctite
• Torque wrench

All the parts you’ll need to get your SB4.5 frame 
assembled. Please refer to to the exploded view 
later in this manual for more information.

Slip washers onto and apply blue (242) Loctite 
to the 4 bolts that secure the Switch Infinity Link 
to the frame. Insert them into their place and 
hang the black fitting washers from them.  Place 
washers with the flat side flush to the frame and 
opening.

Insert the Infinity Link from the non-drive side. 
The Infinity logo should be up and the Fox logos 
facing the non-drive side. Rock the link into place 
capturing the black fitting washers. Make sure that 
they have not slipped or rotated. The flat end of 
the fitting washers must be facing the opening in 
the frame and they must nestle into the Infinity Link 
stanchions.

While holding the link in place lightly tighten the 
bolts. You want them to snug so that the link 
does not move and so that the fitting washers 
are fully captured, but don’t try to torque them by 
hand!  Finish the job with a torque wrench.

*Torque to 12 Nm
