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

• 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)
• 2× Main Dynamic O-rings (included) : damper shaft seal O-ring and IFP seal O-ring. These are the two dynamic seals that should be replaced every time and are the ones I personally change during a 200-hour service.

Important note on seals:
This kit includes the two critical dynamic O-rings (damper shaft + IFP). If you are chasing air leaks or external oil leaks that are not coming from the damper shaft, this may not be sufficient.

For a more complete seal refresh, you can use a full service kit:
Anso
MTB Hydraulics

Optional but Recommended (Not included):

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

Only the tools listed in “What’s Included” above are part of this kit. You will also need standard shop tools listed on these pages:

• Essential Tools Starter Pack
• Non-Printable & Often Used Tools

A valve core remover is very important.

You can easily hand-bleed this shock by following the Fox DPX2 manual, the procedure is almost identical:

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 useful anyway for a 200h service.

Reservoir & IFP Specs

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

IFP Depth Estimate:

IFP Movement (mm) = Stroke (mm) × 0.2184
Estimated IFP Depth = IFP Movement + 20 mm

Example: 65 mm Stroke

• 65 × 0.2184 = 14.22 mm IFP movement
• Estimated IFP Depth = 14.22 + 20 = around 34 mm

• 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
