RockShox Vivid 6-Pin Custom Wrench

Custom 6-pin sealhead wrench for RockShox Vivid and compatible Super Deluxe Coil dampers.

Recommendation: If you have the budget, buy the official RockShox Vivid wrench. It’s the right tool, it will last essentially forever, and it’s not that expensive anyway, typically around 60$.

Our tool is intended for occasional home use or one-off services.

Official RockShox Vivid Spanner Wrench (OEM)
What This Tool Does

This wrench is used to safely open and reinstall the sealhead on RockShox Vivid shocks.

  • Vivid Coil (2008–2024)
  • Vivid Air (all years)
  • Super Deluxe Coil (2018–2022)

Designed for high-torque sealhead work during damper service.

Tool Design
  • 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
  • Deep-lip spacer prevents tilt under torque
  • 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).
