FOX DHX Damper Body + Reservoir Clamp
Made for servicing the outer damper tube or reservoir on any generation of FOX DHX coil shock, including the older RC2, RC4, and the latest models. But letβs be clear: you probably donβt need this tool.
β οΈ Warning:
Only use this clamp if your shock is leaking from the reservoir or damper body. These parts are factory-sealed with red Loctite. If theyβre not leaking, donβt open them. If you do need to open them, don't forget to use heat to break the loctite.

Β When You Might Actually Need It
- Visible oil leaking from the reservoir or damper body
- Damper body came loose while trying to remove the sealhead
- Youβre repairing known damage to the base valve or reservoir
In nearly all other cases, a full DHX rebuild does not require touching the damper body or reservoir. The static seals in those areas rarely fail unless mishandled or over-torqued during disassembly.
Why You Probably Donβt Need It
Most FOX DHX problems come from dynamic parts: shaft seals, IFP o-rings, and Schrader valves. The reservoir and damper tube are not common failure points unless the shock has been physically damaged.
What It Includes
- Dual-slot clamp for both damper body and reservoir
- Compatible with DHX RC2, RC4, and all newer DHX coil models
- Use in a bench vise with Soft Vise Jaws for maximum protection
Setup & Safety Tips
- Clean all clamping surfaces thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol
- Wrap tubes in dry paper or towel before clamping
- Clamp gently, aluminum tubes crush easily under high pressure
- Do not attempt this service unless youβre 100% sure you need to

Disclaimer:
This clamp is only for home mechanics doing specific leak repairs. Most shocks donβt require this. If you damage the tube or fail to reseal it properly, your shock could be permanently compromised. By purchasing, you agree to our Terms of Service.
