⚠️ Important Safety Warning
Always depressurize air and damper circuits before disassembly. If your shock or fork is still pressurized, removing the eyelet, sealhead or opening the damper in general can cause injury or damage.
13 mm Shaft Clamp
Designed for 13 mm damper shafts, a rare size used on a small number of boutique coil shocks. Not suitable for most air shocks or fork dampers.
⚠️ Product photo shows the 3/8″ DHX2 clamp as an example. Actual 13 mm version may differ in appearance.
What It Does
This clamp safely holds a 13 mm shaft in your bench vise for servicing the damper, including removal of pistons, eyelets, and other components. Bore is matched for tight fit and torque resistance.
- Fits: Formula MOD Coil shock (confirmed)
- ❗ Note: Does any other shocks use this size?.. check with calipers before clamping
Tip: The MOD coil uses a slightly unusual 13 mm shaft. Not certain with the MOD V2.
Setup Instructions
- Clean the shaft thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol, repeat until fully degreased
- Wrap the shaft with a dry paper towel to increase grip and protect the finish
- Clamp with even vise pressure, never overtighten
- Heat any Loctited components to avoid tearing threads

⚠️ Reminder: Improper cleaning, oily shafts, or using the wrong clamp size will lead to slippage and clamp damage. If it doesn’t fit easily, double-check your shaft diameter and ensure the clamp is fully seated.
