Float X2 2019–2020 Full DIY Rebuild Toolkit

A complete DIY rebuild toolkit for Float X2 shocks from 2019 to 2020. Includes all tools needed for a 50h or 200h service at home, from clamping the shaft to replacing every seal. Also works on 2016-2018 X2 with the same shaft and air can.

The Adjusters pin socket is hidden inside the Piggy Back Cap :O

 Buy the MTB Hydraulics seal kit. It’s cheaper than Fox’s and works perfectly , even better in our experience.

What’s Included

• Float X2 2016–2020 Small Shaft Clamp (9 mm) : choose short, medium, or long depending on shock stroke. The Clamp set is included TWO times with the kit for the stroke you selected.
• Float X2 Air Can Wrench (All Years) : sacrificial plastic sockets or optional 7075 aluminum insert
• IFP Depth Tool (Graduated) : for setting IFP piston height
• Float X2 Inner Air Can Clamp (All Years) : critical for holding the grooved inner can during service
• Float X2 2019–2020 Sealhead Splined Socket : required to open the damper sealhead
• X2 Bullet Tool : it's better to insert the sealhead from the piston side but to be honest, you should do it on the eyleet side with a lot of grease and a bit of force, I do it every time and my X2's never leaked.

Must-Read Manuals

• Small Shaft Clamp Manual : required reading before clamping
• Inner air Can Shaft Clamp Guide : explains air can clamping techniques
• Float X2 Techniques Manual (PDF) : damper, sealhead, and service tips

Key Differences From 2016–2018

• Sealhead uses splined socket instead of 14 mm wrench
• Inner air can has external Ring Grooves : clamp as shown in the official FOX service manual so basically not in the Non-Ribbed part, just clamp in between the ribs.

Alternative "No-Eyelet" Setup

For damper opening without eyelet removal, use the open-style splined socket:

If you plan to service multiple generations, get the newer kit, many tools overlap.

Important Notes

• Don’t open adjusters unless leaking, fragile and easy to break
• Clean shafts & air cans with isopropyl alcohol before clamping
• Wrap shafts with dry paper to maximize friction and protect the surface while clamping
• Use gentle heat on any Loctited threads
