This kit excludes common service tools used across many shocks. See our Essential Tools page for details.

• Park Tool SPA-2 Pin Wrench (2.4 mm pins fit damper holes adequately)
• Bench vise or soft jaws
• Syringe and bleed tube (any brake bleed kit)
• Needle fill adapter for bladder pressurization
• Shock oil and model-specific seal kit
• Torque wrench or luggage scale

• Never insert the SPA-2 pins into the threads; always align with the dedicated holes
• Only open adjusters if externally leaking; they are very sensitive to tampering
• The bleed screw sits under the climb lever plate; the lever must be removed
• The shock uses a screw-in inner tube; it can be rotated carefully using a screwdriver through the cross-holes
• Use red Loctite on inner tube threads and do not over-tighten

This is the most important part of the rebuild.

This is a twin-tube damper with no piggyback reservoir. You must use both glove technique and a final syringe bleed.

• Open all adjusters fully
• Perform glove technique to push oil into the inner tube
• Allow oil to overflow back into the inner tube
• Use a standard bleed syringe with rubber tube
• Insert tube gently into bleed port and hold steady
• Apply light vacuum and pressure while stroking the shock
• Repeat several cycles and tap the body to release trapped air

The damper must stop making sloshing noises. Glove technique alone is not sufficient for this shock.
