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 aluminum soft jaws and position
the eyelet in the vise so that the adjustment knobs are clear of the
vise jaws.
Inspect each part for scratches. Do not scratch any sealing surfaces
when servicing your suspension. Scratches can cause leaks.
To record your adjustment settings, turn the rebound adjuster knob

Remove the air valve cap by hand. Use a small hex wrench to lightly
depress the Schrader valve and slowly release all air pressure from the
air can.
⚠ CAU T ION - EYE HA ZARD
Do not disassemble a pressurized shock, this can cause suspension
fluid or debris to forcefully eject from the shock. Wear safety glasses.
Slowly release the air from the air can to make sure the air is removed
from both chambers. Quickly releasing the air can trap air in the
negative chamber and cause the air can to forcefully eject from the
shock upon disassembly.
Use a Schrader valve core tool to remove and reinstall the valve core
from the valve body to make sure all air has been removed.
