115. Spray isopropyl alcohol on the air can retaining
ring threads and shaft eyelet threads and wipe
them with a clean lint free rag.
116. Apply red threadlock to the retaining ring
threads. Guide the retaining ring over the shaft
eyelet and thread it by hand onto the eyelet base
threads, then use the spanner to continue to
thread the retaining ring on the eyelet until it just
starts to tighten.
117. Remove the shock from the vise. Thread the air
can seal head, by hand, into the air can until it is
hand tight.
118. Position the spanner tool into the retaining ring,
then clamp the shock by the rebound eyelet into
the vise leaving just enough room for the spanner
to rotate, but not come out of the retaining ring.
Use the spanner tool to torque the ring to
22.6 N·m (200 in-lb). Remove the shock and
spanner from the vise.
There is a small amount of air can rotation
available once the eyelet tab is seated in the
air can key slot. Prior to tightening the air can
retaining ring, use this small amount of rotation
to position the air can valve body away from the
reservoir.
119. Clamp the SRAM Vivid Air Can Wrench into the
vise. Place the shock, by the air can, into the
SRAM Vivid Air Can Wrench, body eyelet side
up. Use an open ended 16 notch external bottom
bracket tool with a 35 mm opening to thread the
air can seal head into the air can and tighten it to
28.2 N·m (250 in-lb). Remove the shock from the
SRAM Vivid Air Can Wrench.
120. Remove the electrical tape from the shock body.
Spray isopropyl alcohol onto the shock body
and use a clean lint free rag to remove any tape
residue from the shock.
121. R2C only: Use a 2 mm hex key to remove the Low
Speed Compression adjuster knob. Spray the
entire shock, including the adjuster knob, with
isopropyl alcohol and wipe it with a clean rag.
Use the 2 mm hex key to re-install the Low Speed
Compression adjuster knob.
122. Install the rebound adjuster knob. Use a 2.5 mm
hex to tighten the rebound knob bolt to 0.45 N·m
(4 in-lb).
