Float X2 2021–2025 Full DIY Rebuild Toolkit
Complete DIY service toolkit for FOX Float X2 (2021–2025). Designed around a simple choice system: either the 50h/200h Service Kit (routine service) or the 500h All-Tools Kit (full teardown access of all static seals).
The kit includes the basic dynamic seals (Damper shaft/IFP).
⚠️ Critical X2 warnings (read before buying)
- Always depressurize the IFP AND open the bleed screw slowly. These shocks can stay pressurized due to oil aeration.
- Remove the rebound adjuster knob before servicing. (Covered in the official procedure.)
- NEVER unscrew the VVC rebound micro-nuts after removing the mid-valve from the main shaft.
- The sealhead can be installed from the eyelet side — there is no U-cup seal.
- The 2021–2025 small shaft clamp will not fit unless the inner air sleeve is fully threaded onto the negative sealhead.
How to choose the right kit (service level)
Ordering is intentionally simple:
Select your service level
Covers routine service: oil change, dynamic seals, correct bleed, and IFP depth reset. This solves the majority of Float X2 issues.
Includes everything in the 50h/200h kit, plus the tools to open adjusters, piggyback, and damper body only when leaking or damaged.
What’s included – 50h / 200h Service Kit
This kit includes the dynamic seals variants used on FLOAT X2 shocks from 2021 to 2025. Both the older single sealhead O-ring and the updated 2024+ sealhead configuration with two smaller O-rings are included. No matter which version you have, the correct dynamic seals are in the kit.
- Small Shaft Clamp (3/8") — included two times
- Float X2 Air Can Wrench (All Years) — Aluminium version

If you want a near-complete seal refresh kit to pair with this toolkit, the Anso Seal Service Kit is hard to beat.
What’s additionally included – 500h All-Tools Kit
The 500h All-Tools Kit includes everything in the 50h/200h kit, plus:
- Compression Adjuster Pin Socket
- Rebound Adjuster Pin Socket
- Custom wrench to drive the adjuster pin sockets
- Piggyback Clamp
- Damper Body Clamp
Required tools (NOT included)
- Schrader valve core tool (mandatory to fully depressurize and to service/replace leaking cores).
- Essential non-printable tools: Essential Tools
Bleeding (what actually works)
The Float X2 is difficult to bleed perfectly by hand. Use the glove method (glove over damper tube + piggyback, work oil through the valving), then let it sit overnight.
Light hissing on first compressions can be normal and often clears after a few rides. We are working on a syringe bleed fitting and will include it in your package for free until we reach a final design.
Setup notes (clamping + Loctite)
- Clean all parts with isopropyl alcohol before clamping.
- Wrap shafts/cans with dry paper towel to protect surfaces and improve grip.
- Use heat before removing any Loctited parts.
Must-read manuals
- Small X2 Shaft Clamp Manual
- Float X2 Tools PDF Manual (older generations but still useful for technique)
