Mounting Hardware Installation - SRAM RockShox Deluxe RT3 Service Manual

M o u n t i n g H a r d w a r e I n s t a l l a t i o n
Some mounting hardware is easily installed using only your fingers. Press the bushing pin into the shock eyelet bushing until the pin protrudes from
both sides of the eyelet an equal amount. Next, press an end spacer, large diameter side first, onto each end of the bushing pin. If this works, you
have completed mounting hardware and bushing service.
If you are unable to install your mounting hardware using your fingers, use the RockShox® rear shock bushing removal/installation tool.
Thread the small end of the push pin onto the threaded rod until the
1
push pin is flush or slightly protrudes from the hex-shaped end of the
push pin.
Insert the threaded rod through the bushing pin then through the shaft
2
eyelet so that the bushing pin is positioned between the push pin and
the eyelet.
Thread the large, open end of the catcher onto the rod until it rests on
3
the eyelet.
Clamp the catcher in a vise or hold it secure with a 13 mm wrench.
4
Use a second 13 mm wrench to thread the push pin along the rod until
it pushes the bushing pin into the shock eyelet bushing.
Continue to thread the push pin until the bushing pin protrudes from
both sides of the eyelet an equal amount.
You may need to unthread the catcher slightly to check the bushing
pin spacing.
