Which FOX shock models is the FOX FLOAT X Sealhead Pin Socket (2022+) compatible with?

The FOX FLOAT X Sealhead Pin Socket (2022+) fits FOX FLOAT X shocks made in 2022 and later, and the Marzocchi Bomber Air. It is not compatible with the FOX DPX2 or any other FOX shock models. Verify your shock model year before ordering.

Does the FOX FLOAT X Sealhead Pin Socket work for all FLOAT X travel lengths?

For FLOAT X shocks with 47.5–75 mm of travel, this pin socket is required to remove the sealhead bearing housing. For shorter travel variants (37.5–45 mm), the travel spacer plate must be removed first and a standard 32 mm wrench is used instead. The pin socket is not needed for the 37.5–45 mm range.

How does the FOX FLOAT X Sealhead Pin Socket differ from a generic splined socket or adjustable pin wrench?

Generic splined sockets and adjustable pin wrenches apply uneven load and risk rounding or bending the soft aluminum engagement tabs on the FLOAT X bearing housing. This socket engages both pins simultaneously with even load, preserving tab geometry across repeated rebuilds. It also accommodates the luggage scale torque method since no 3/8″ drive is used.

What shipping options are available to Canada for the FOX FLOAT X Sealhead Pin Socket?

Tracked shipping within Canada starts at $8.49 CAD, with a maximum of $14.99 CAD. Orders over $89 CAD qualify for free shipping. The tool ships from Canada with fast order processing, typically within 1 business day of purchase.

Who should use the FOX FLOAT X Sealhead Pin Socket, and are there any safety requirements before using it?

This tool is intended for experienced home mechanics performing DIY rebuilds on FOX FLOAT X shocks — it is not rated for high-volume shop use. Before opening the air can, fully release both air spring and damper pressures. Apply slow, even torque; if the housing resists, apply heat rather than forcing it, as the threads are shallow and soft.
