SHOCK EYELET BEARING
Service
Your frame is equipped with cartridge bearings in the rear eyelet, allowing for better small-bump compliance.
These bearings are carried by cups that have a very firm press fit into the shock shaft.
If you have your shock serviced, we highly recommend removing these components, as suspension service
centres cannot guarantee they will be returned.
To remove the system, follow these steps:
• Use the Enduro Bearings BRT-006 tool, or a
(8 mm extension) to remove both bearings.
• Remove the centre sleeve.
• Use the blind bearing puller (10 mm extension) to remove the empty cups.
NOTE: the inner diameter of the cups is 11 mm, which means the 12 mm extension won’t fit (So don't force it).
Use the 10 mm extension.
To install new cups, use a bearing press or vice, making sure to press on the outer edge of the cups, and don’t
forget the centre spacer sleeve between the cups.
