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.
Clamp the damper body eyelet into a vice.

Wrap a rag around the damper body.
Loosen and remove the seal head/air piston assembly from the damper
body.
⚠ CAU T ION - EYE HA ZARD
If fluid is foaming from the damper body when the seal head/air piston
is loosened, the IFP seal has failed and the fluid inside the damper
is pressurized. This can cause the seal head/air piston assembly and
damper fluid to forcefully eject from the damper body. Cover the seal
head/air piston assembly with a rag and slowly loosen the assembly to
allow the pressurized fluid to leak out between the damper body and
seal head/air piston assembly.
19 mm
Fluid will spill from the damper body.
Remove the damper body from the vise and pour the fluid into an

oil pan.
