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.
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the shaft assembly and vice blocks and
1
clean them with a rag.
Use a vise block with the 10 mm shaft clamp to clamp the shaft into
2
a vise.
Do not remove the shaft from the eyelet.
To prevent damage to the seal head/air piston, position the shaft in the
vise so that the piston is clear of the vise jaws.
RLR/RL/RT: Use your fingers to remove the compression rod and top
3
cap assembly.
Keep all the parts together and set them aside.
