MounTinG hARdWARE & buShinG SERviCE
Prior to servicing your rear shock, you will first need to remove it from your bicycle frame according to your bicycle
manufacturer's instructions. Once your shock is off your bicycle, you will need to remove the mounting hardware before
performing any service.
Any time you need to clamp the rear shock eyelets into a vise, use aluminum soft jaws to prevent damage to the eyelets.
MounTinG hARdWARE REMovAL
Some mounting hardware is easily removed
using only your fingers. Try to remove the end
spacers with your fingernail, then push the
bushing pin out of the bushing. If this works,
move on to the next section titled "Bushing
Service".
If you are unable to remove your mounting
hardware using your fingers, use the SRAM rear
shock bushing installation and removal tool.
1.
Thread the push pin onto the threaded rod, small
diameter end first, until the rod is flush with or
slightly protrudes from the hex-shaped end of
the push pin.
2.
Insert the threaded rod through the shock eyelet
so that the push pin rests against the bushing
pin.
3.
Thread the catcher, with the large open end first,
along the rod until it rests over the end spacer on
the opposite side of the bushing pin.
4.
Clamp the catcher in a vise or hold it secure with
a 13 mm or adjustable wrench. Use a second 13
mm open ended or adjustable wrench to thread
the push pin along the rod until it stops against
the end spacer. Unthread the push pin from the
threaded rod and remove the end spacer from
that side.
5.
Re-install the push pin onto the threaded rod and
hand thread it along the rod until it rests against
the bushing pin (inside the shock eyelet bushing)
again. Use a 13 mm wrench to thread the push
pin along the rod until it stops against the shock
eyelet.
6.
Unthread the catcher from the threaded rod.
Remove the end spacer from the threaded rod
and the bushing pin from the catcher. Remove
the push pin and threaded rod from the shock.
Set the mounting hardware aside until you have
finished servicing your shock. Repeat for the
other eyelet.
