RockShox Charger RC Damper-Only DIY Rebuild Toolkit

The RC stands for Rebound-Compression, if you only have rebound, you probably have the Charger R. Same tools!

Need Seals?

All the tools you need to rebuild the RockShox Charger RC damper (the one with the single sweeping compression knob that just says "Charger" on top). This listing is for the damper only, not the entire fork service.

Clamping Tip:
If your tool uses a big-diameter shaft clamp (like 20mm or more), make sure you're clamping it properly.
See the full clamping guide here: How to Use a Big Diameter Shaft Clamp
TrailHead to find which damper you have exactly.Β

Only one custom tool is required: the Charger Damper Body Clamp. The only other thing you’ll need is a standard cassette tool to remove the damper top cap.

Included:
  • Charger Damper Body Clamp : fits the RC damper body diameter and also has a 10mm slot so you can clamp the air shaft if needed in the future.

Required Extras (not included): Cassette Tool : needed to remove the damper top cap

Also needed: RockShox 4wt oil, SRAM Butter, and basic rebuild supplies.
Essential Tools Starter Pack : all general suspension tools
MTB Suspension Jargon for Beginners : if you're new to this

How to Bleed and Rebuild (Read Carefully):

Do not let the shaft enter the damper too far during bleed. SRAM specifies max stroke depth per fork model to prevent over-bleeding or air ingestion:

See full details in the official service manual: Pages 148–163

Quick Rebuild Tips:
  • Don't overfill. Stop when oil reaches the bleed port
  • Fully open adjusters when inserting the compression assembly
  • Cycle the shaft gently during fill, never force it
  • Don’t push the shaft past the max depth listed above
  • This damper does not use an IFP spring, it’s easier to bleed than Charger 3
⚠️ Warnings:
  • Only attempt this service if you're confident, always depressurize the fork air shaft first first
  • Bleed depth limits are critical to avoid overstroke and air ingestion
  • Do not overtighten compression assembly!
Disclaimer: This listing includes only the damper body clamp. All other tools and oils must be sourced separately. Always follow official service procedures and torque specs. Use at your own risk. See our Terms of Service.
