Fox/Marzocchi Forks Basic Damper Shaft Driver

This is our take to make a tool to drive the tip of the damper shaft into the lower legs for a lower leg service. We tried to make it as cheap as possible so we can sell it at a fair price, with the same efficiency as the real metal tools.

 What It Does:

• Threads into the exposed rebound shaft (damper side) of Fox or Marzocchi forks
• Lets you tap out the lower leg without damaging the low-speed rebound meter rod or rebound internals.
• Plastic tip is safe, cheap, and replaceable if it wears out
• Helps avoid $200+ mistakes like cracked leaf springs, VVC internals or rebound meter rod.
• Works with a rubber mallet, block of wood, or gentle hammer

 What's Included:

• Plastic handle with internal thread
• 2x replaceable plastic driver tip (will last 5-10 service each)
• Optional: upgrade to 3 extra tips for $10 more

How To Use our tool: 

1. Release all the air in the fork
2. Remove the rebound adjusters (2mm allen) 
3. Unscrew both the damper side nut and the air shaft side nuts with a long socket (10mm/15mm) and a ratchet.
4. Remove the small plastic crush washer on each side if you can
5. Thread the driver tip fully onto the rebound shaft until it bottoms on the inside shoulder of the tool (Don't screw too hard, the threads are plastic)

• • If you don't thread it fully, the impact will not go on the inside flat and break the threads, which is not a big deal  and will still work but it's nice when the tool holds itself up.

1. Hold the fork upright and gently strike the tool with a rubber mallet
2. Do not hit on the center smaller shaft directly without the tool!!
3. Also hit on the air shaft side but with a normal rubber mallet or a block of wood to protect it.
4. Once the shafts breaks free, remove the lowers and proceed with cleaning

 For shops and advanced users: if you're doing 10+ services, consider buying the real fox tool.
