RockShox M5 IFP Puller Tool

 What It Does

This tool is used to safely and easily extract the IFP (Internal Floating Piston) from newer RockShox shocks that use an M5-threaded bleed port. On these models, the piggyback is no longer threaded into the damper body, it's secured with small bolts. These modular units are often upgradeable to Ultimate-level valving.

• If your shock’s IFP is held by 2 screws (not threaded directly), this tool is likely required

 How It Works

Thread the tool gently into the M5 bleed port and pull straight back. It interfaces with the plastic insert in the IFP (usually a Torx T10 shape) and pops the IFP free without damage.

 Do You Really Need It?

Not always, you can use a regular M5 screw and pull with pliers, but it's fiddly and prone to slipping. This tool gives better grip and a more confident pull, especially when reinstalling or working on multiple shocks.

We keep the price low, it's 3D printed but strong and made for repeat use. 

 Safety Notes

• Always depressurize both the air spring and damper before opening the shock
• Do not attempt to pull the IFP if pressure is still present
• Review the official RockShox service manual for your specific model
