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 aluminium 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.
Wrap a rag around the end of the damper body. Thread the air valve

adapter tool into a shock pump. Thread the pump and adapter into the
air fill port.
Pump air into the damper body to force the IFP out of the damper
body, into the rag.
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the inside and outside of the damper body

and clean it with a rag.
Remove a glove and use your finger to inspect the inside and outside
of the damper body for scratches, dents, or other surface deformations.
If any deformations are found, the damper body will need to be
replaced.
Remove and replace the IFP o-ring. Apply RockShox Dynamic Seal

Grease to the o-ring.
