Bomber Air Full DIY Rebuild Toolkit

This is a complete home rebuild toolkit for the Marzocchi Bomber Air. It includes all the critical tools required for damper service, including all the tools for a full 50h–200h rebuild.

It's almost exactly the same procedure as the Fox Float X. If you already own tools for that shock, you're good to go!

When torquing back the main piston stud and nut, be very careful, it’s easy to break the shaft due to the small internal cross-drilled holes.

 What It Does

Allows full teardown and rebuild of your Bomber Air shock. Designed specifically for home mechanics, not for shop use.

 What's Included

• 1/2" Shaft Clamp : works with the FLOAT X and Bomber Air main shaft
• Graduated IFP Depth Tool : for setting proper IFP depth during rebuild
• Float X Pin Socket : needed for 47.5–75 mm travel shocks only (over 45 mm)

Optional but Recommended:

• Trunnion Shock Vise Holder : strongly recommended if your Bomber Air uses a trunnion mount

 Notes on Compatibility

• Bomber Air 37.5–45 mm travel shocks use a different bearing housing. You can open these with a 32 mm wrench after removing the travel spacer plate
• You can use a Knipex Pliers Wrench on the sealhead if you're on a budget, it may mark the surface slightly, but that part is cosmetic and internal
• Bomber Air 47.5–75 mm shocks require the pin socket tool included in this kit (or a 10" Knipex if you don’t mind cosmetic marks)
• No base valve or rebound pin sockets are required, only standard wrenches
• For the piggy back we will need to measure the diameter to make the shaft clamp but it's not that usefull anyway for a 200h service.

 Reservoir & IFP Specs

• IFP pressure: 150 psi
• Use 4wt damper oil

IFP Depth Estimate: Based on comparisons with the Fox Float X, you can estimate your IFP depth using this method because fox didn't publish the manuals yet:

IFP Movement (mm) = Stroke (mm) × 0.2184
Estimated IFP Depth = IFP Movement + 20 mm (space for air cap and also we don't want a too small final volume or the pressure will spike)

⚠️ Important Safety Notes

• Always release air spring pressure before opening the air can
• Then release damper pressure via the IFP air valve using a Fox/RockShox IFP valve adapter
• Never open a pressurized shock, this can cause serious injury
• If unsure, do not proceed. Seek professional help
