FOX FLOAT X Sealhead Pin Socket (2022+)
This is the specialized two-pin socket used to open the sealhead housing on FOX FLOAT X shocks (2022+).
Pro Tip: This is one of the few Fox shocks where a soft-jaw pliers can work instead of the pin-socket but this tool ensures consistent rebuild quality.
Β What It Does
Lets you unthread the Sealhead bearing housing cleanly, without damaging the soft aluminum tabs.
Β Compatibility
- Fits FOX FLOAT X shocks (2022+)
- Does not fit DPX2 or other FOX models
- Does fit the marzocchi Bomber Air
Β How to Use
FLOAT X shocks with 37.5mm through 45mm travel use a different bearing housing assembly than 47.5-75mm versions.
- For 37.5-45mm travel shocks: use a 32 mm wrench to unthread the bearing housing counter-clockwise
- Remove the travel spacer plate first before applying any torque
- If using soft-jaw pliers (e.g., Knipex), clamp gently on the X-shaped reinforcement, marks are cosmetic only
- Pin socket is strongly recommended for rebuild accuracy and repeat use
- No 3/8" drive port: use our luggage scale torque calculator instead of a torque wrench
β οΈ Warning: Never force the sealhead, these threads are shallow and soft. Use heat if needed and apply slow, even torque.
Β Safety Notes
- Always release air spring pressure before opening the air can
- Ensure both pressures are fully discharged before removing the rebound housing
Β Disclaimers
This tool is for home mechanics with experience in damper rebuilds. Improper use may result in injury or damage to your shock. Not for shop or high-volume commercial use. By purchasing, you agree to our terms of service.
Nice Work: If youβve read this far, youβre more prepared than most techs who try this without reading a manual. That means youβll probably do a great job.
