5 primary steel pins + 1 alignment pin via spacer
- For the 2024+ Vivid Air, There is only 5 pin holes on the sealhead. Use the spacer on the opposite side.
- True 6-pin engagement

- Built for ~30 Nm sealhead torque
Fit & Finish
The wrench locks perfectly into our Sealhead Negative Spring Compression Tool.
Press-fit alignment keeps the shaft perfectly straight while threading.
OEM vs Custom Tool
If you want a tool that lasts forever, buy the official RockShox wrench.
Ours is designed for home mechanics and typically lasts 4–5 services.
The OEM tool costs roughly $100 CAD with tax and shipping.
This one exists to make damper service accessible without that cost.
Spacer & Engagement
Always use the included spacer.
- Activates the 6th pin
- Improves strength and alignment
- Prevents flex under load
- Extends tool life
Torque & Real-World Advice
RockShox lists ~30–34 Nm for sealheads.
That’s a lot for 1mm thread pitch.
- The O-ring does the sealing
- Fine threads multiply force rapidly
- Over-torque risks thread and tool damage
Recommended: ~20–25 Nm.
This tool has a built-in hole at 14 cm for use with a luggage scale.
Use our Torque Calculator (preset included).
