Float X2 2021–2025 Seal Head Pin Socket

This tool is specifically designed to remove and reinstall the seal head on 2021–2025 Fox Float X2 shocks. It’s a closed-style socket, so you’ll need to remove the eyelet to use it, but once you do, it locks on tight with zero play and makes the job a lot cleaner.

What It Does

Lets you remove and reinstall the seal head safely without damaging the shaft or body. The pins are stainless steel, press-fit into a rigid polymer body that fits the 2021-2025 Float X2 perfectly. It gives you a more solid connection than using a strap wrench and makes reinstallation safer.

 What It Works With

• Fox Float X2 (2021–2025 ONLY)

 What It Doesn’t Work With

• Fox DHX2 – doesn’t need this tool
• Float X2 2016–2018 – uses a different socket size
• Float X2 2019–2020 – also uses a different tool
• Float X2 2026+ – not compatible (we haven’t confirmed the design)

 Pro Tips

• You can technically use a strap wrench (like for oil filters), but be very careful, it’s easy to slip or deform the body if you're not careful when re-torquing.
• This tool is much safer and makes the job easier, especially during reassembly.
• Stainless pins are strong, and the fit is tight, just press hard and turn slowly.

 Best Combo

Pair this with our two-sided custom wrench for best results. It fits all our pin sockets with no play and gives you better leverage. We also offer them bundled at a discount.
