Disassembly Tips

rear trianGle DisassemblY Loosen up seatstay bolts without
1
loosening up dogbone bolts. At the seatstay, dogbone and shock
junction, back off Ti stud and Ti male bolt with a 5mm allen key.

use dead blow hammer to knock out of place. Be ready to catch the Ti
stud as it exits the drive side of the bike.
shOCk & DOGbOne DisassemblY Back the main bolt all the way off
3
of the main pivot bolt. Use punch and dead blow hammer to remove
the main pivot. Hammer the male bolt so the main pivot exits the drive side
of the bike.
Tip: Stand with body flush against the front tri of the bike. Make sure you
use an adequate sized punch to prevent damage to the internal threads of
the main pivot bolt.
shOCk & DOGbOne DisassemblY Remove the guide pin from
4
shock, dogbone and seatstay junction. Once you remove the guide
pin, be prepared to catch swing arm. TO remove the shock and dogbone
mountain bolts, place two 5mm allen keys on both ends of the bolt and turn
counter clockwise. Once the male Yeti bolt is removed, take a 6mm allen
key or Fox toll and tap out the female end.
Note: This method works for all three mounting bolts on a Fox Racing
shock.
