FOX SHOCK DISASSEMBLY

A training video is available on University of Polaris
(https://lms. latitudelearning. com/home/main. aspx) for
disassembly of Podium Internal Bypass shocks. Search
for "Podium Internal Bypass Shock".
CAUTION
Always wear safety glasses and read directions
completely before disassembling the shock
IMPORTANT
Inspect the shock for signs of oil leakage prior to any
disassembly or cleaning.
Cleanliness is critical; make sure your work area is
clean and organized prior to starting work.
Contamination of the shock will lead to premature wear
and poor function of your shocks.
When replacing a seal during a service, make sure the
new seal is the same size, shape, and material as the
one you are replacing. In some cases, there may be
two or more seals in the rebuild kit that look similar.
In this manual we will completely disassemble the
entire shock. Many shock services may not require
complete disassembly of some components. Example if
the eyelet is tight to the shaft it may not require removal
or if the shock body and body cap do not show any
signs of oil leakage and they are tight, they may not
require removal.
Record compression adjuster settings by counting the
number of clicks in (clockwise) until the adjuster stops.
Once you have recorded the numbers, back all
adjusters out counter clockwise to the (full soft)
position.
Record spring length preload distance prior to spring
removal. To remove spring back preload collars off
enough to remove spring retainer.
Clean the entire shock assembly with soapy water or
mild solvent. Rinse and dry shock.
Ensure you have obtained the correct rebuild kit and oil
prior to disassembly.
