IFOX FLOAT CTD Boost Valve & Dish DIY Rebuild Toolkit (2013–2015)
Everything you need to rebuild your FOX FLOAT CTD Boost Valve or Dish rear shock at home. This kit covers both models, which share the same IFP depths but differ slightly at the piston and nut.
The official pin sockets for the mid valve in this kit are not included because everything is doable with a SPA-2 wrench from park tool. This website is for cheap services after all.
What's Included
- Extra-Long IFP Depth Tool : Reach and set deep IFP positions with precision
- 9mm Shaft Clamp : Securely clamp the damper shaft without damage
- Metal Pellet Retainer Tool : For safe and controlled pressurization of the damper with the needle air fill technique
Optional Add-On: You can add the SPA-2 Torque Adapter at checkout. It clips onto your SPA-2 pin spanner and allows precise torque application using a luggage scale. We’ve calibrated the distance from the hole to the center, so with our Torque Calculator you can achieve very low torque values with high accuracy especially useful for delicate parts.
IFP Depth Settings
The IFP depth must be set extremely precisely for proper function. Use the included depth tool and follow the chart below:
| Shock Size | IFP Depth |
|---|---|
| 5.500 x 1.000 | 1.450 in |
| 6.000 x 1.250 | 1.670 in |
| 6.500 x 1.500 | 1.880 in |
| 7.250 x 1.750 | 2.100 in |
| 7.500 x 2.000 | 2.310 in |
| 7.875 x 2.000 | 2.310 in |
| 7.875 x 2.250 | 2.500 in |
| 8.500 x 2.500 | 2.740 in |
Tip: To pop out the IFP from the damper body, blow into the air-fill hole with a foot pump and a ball-balloon adapter. A compressor works best, but most riders can manage with this method.
Needle Pressurization
These shocks require a needle fill tool for damper pressurization. See our guide here: Needle Fill Instructions.
The pressure is very high, up to 500 psi. Make sure your shock pump can handle it. The needle kit is not included in this package.
Piston & Nut Differences
The main difference between the Boost Valve and Dish versions is at the piston nut:
- Dish: Mid valve can be unscrewed using a simple Park Tool SPA-2 Pin Spanner (Amazon, low cost). No expensive tool required. Optional: add our SPA-2 torque adapter at checkout for precise torque with a luggage scale and our Torque Calculator.
- Boost Valve: Similar process and doable with a SPA-2 but requires opening additional parts with a pin spanner. One critical nut torques to just 2.5 Nm (about 1.5 kg pull with the calculator), be extremely careful not to over-tighten or you risk bending the fragile lift plate or even snapping the shaft.
⚠️ Important Notes & Disclaimers
- Always depressurize both air and damper before starting
- Use extreme caution with the lift plate, it bends very easily
- These shocks use pellet retainers, read the Pellet Retainer Tool Guide
- Refer also to the Small Shaft Clamp Manual for proper usage
- These procedures involve high pressures (up to 500 psi) and very delicate components. Take your time.
⚠️ This kit is for experienced users only. By purchasing or using this product, you confirm that you have read our terms and conditions and accept full responsibility for your repair.
