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.
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the shaft assembly and clean it
with a rag.
Clamp the damper shaft into the 1/2 inch slot on the RockShox® Rear
Shock Vise Block.
Do not remove the damper shaft from the eyelet.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seal head/air piston, position the shaft in the
vise so that the piston and IFP reservoir are clear of the vise jaws.
Remove the main piston nut.
