thanks for the video... but when i am screwing off the end cap it just keeps twisting around and wont come off the thread i can see the exposed thread indicating that i am at the end or very near it

advice please

1- Let all the air out of the shock.

2- Grip the bottom section of the air sleeve and turn counter-clockwise.

3- When you get to the last thread, simply pull the air sleeve off

toward the back of the shock. ( it may have a little suction like feel,

this is totally normal ).

4- Once the air sleeve is off, clean and re-lube the seals, then

reinstall the air sleeve.

Great video... very helpful and saved me a week without a shock and hundreds of bucks! But, that 'little pop' that he describes (for shocks in the 'stuck down' position), was a big pow... sounded like a gun going off and scared the crap out of me...

You mentionned the kit is 7.50$, but it's 30$ on your website.

Am I mistaken here?

All i want to ask is (after servicing my shock with this video which is brilliant) why does the Fox website say not to do this yourself and to send it away to do at a cosy of £90

[MatTheSpaz777]

This video is spot on!!! Just serviced my shock in about 10 minutes after watching this video and it runs a treat. Easy easy

[smudgie0111]

I've just done this service great video thanks. For those about to do this though, remember you need to remove the shock eye bushing mounts from each side before you start!

I have a 2007 DHX air 4.0 can i service it in the same way ? thanks

Awesome video, but is this procedure same for the Trek's DRCV shocks and does it require some other air sleeve kit for the service ....

[94loafer]

there were two o-rings left on the table, one of which sits on the post to set sag, but what is the other for? I had it left over too.

[tbs87dk]

@gregmazo Yeah it's much more expensive than $30, and it is not available outside the US from any US dealers.

[raceface705]

any idea how to replace the seals on my fox float R talas rear shock?

[mrbwanker]

where do i get an adapter for the negative air valve??  i just gave my shock a full service, change the old oil and the seal on the if p. just found out all my negative air valves will not fit :(

thanks

What is the thick o-ring that is a little bigger in diameter of the big quad ring for? I'm guessing it could be an XV can seal, but on the other hand you need two of those...
