Shock Assembly And Bleed - SRAM RockShox Deluxe RT3 Service Manual

2 0 0 H o u r S e r v i c e
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.
Clamp the damper body into the RockShox Rear Shock Body
1
Vise Block.
Tighten the vise firmly enough so that the IFP cannot move in the
damper body. Check this by using your finger to push on the IFP.
If the IFP does move, use a shock pump to push out the IFP, and then
reset it to the depth specified in the table.
Wrap a clean rag around the damper body.
Do not overtighten the vise so that the damper body
gets crushed.
The RockShox Rear Shock Body Vise Block holds the IFP in place.
Failure to use the vise block when clamping the damper body into the
vise may result in improper IFP height. Improper IFP height can cause
the damper to fail.
Pour new RockShox 7wt suspension oil into the damper body until it is
2
level with the top.
