Unthread and remove the air sleeve from the eyelet by turning it counter-clockwise.
Step 3
Unthread the two screws in the Bearing Housing Cap counter-clockwise with a 2mm hex wrench. Lift up on the Bearing Housing Cap to reveal any Travel Spacers if present.
Step 4
Hold the Bearing Housing Cap up to remove or add Travel Spacer pairs as desired. Make sure that the travel you are configuring the shock for is appropriate for the intended bike application. Position the Travel Spacers so their center through-holes are aligned with the threaded holes in the Bearing Assembly and the raised rim is facing up away from the Bearing Housing. (
Step 5
Reposition the Bearing Housing Cap on top of the Bearing Housing and any Travel Spacers present, making sure to align the through-holes with the threaded holes of the Bearing Housing. Reinstall the two screws, tightening clockwise to 10 in-lb (1.1 Nm) torque with a 2mm hex wrench
Step 6
Reinstall the air sleeve assembly onto the shock damper. Add 2cc of FOX 20wt. gold oil into the positive air chamber. Push the air sleeve assembly to the eyelet then tighten clockwise until hand tight. Add air to your desired pressure then reinstall the black air cap. Clean the exterior of the shock then dyno test all functions.
