Which Fox forks is the Fox Lower Leg Removal Tool compatible with?

The Fox Lower Leg Removal Tool is compatible with Fox 34, 36, 38, and 40 forks across all model years, on the damper side only. It also works with Marzocchi Bomber forks that use Fox internals. It is not compatible with Taper-Cast forks.

Why use this tool instead of striking the rebound shaft directly?

Striking the rebound shaft directly risks breaking the meter rod, leaf springs, or VVC internals — all costly components to replace. This driver threads onto the rebound shaft and absorbs impact through a soft replaceable plastic tip, isolating force from the internals entirely. It is the same function as Fox's own tool (398-00-682) at a lower price point.

What is included with the Fox Lower Leg Removal Tool, and are spare tips available?

Each kit includes the basic driver body and two replaceable plastic tips. A 3-pack of extra tips is available as an optional add-on for $10 CAD. For riders who also service the air-shaft side, the Deluxe Dual-Side Driver adds an air-shaft driver end with the same threaded tip system.

How does the Fox Lower Leg Removal Tool compare to a generic homemade solution?

Generic homemade drivers — typically wooden dowels or improvised rods — lack threads to seat on the rebound shaft and cannot guarantee consistent centering, increasing the risk of lateral force on the meter rod. This tool threads directly onto the rebound shaft for a secure, repeatable fit, and its soft plastic tip is purpose-rated as replaceable rather than improvised.
