RockShox Service
RockShox Service
We recommend that you have your RockShox suspension serviced by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Servicing RockShox suspension requires
knowledge of suspension components, as well as the use of specialized tools and lubricants/fluids. Failure to follow the procedures outlined in this
service manual may cause damage to your component and void the warranty.
Visit www.sram.com/service for the latest RockShox Spare Parts catalog and technical information. For order information, please contact your local
SRAM distributor or dealer.
Information contained in this publication is subject to change at any time without prior notice.
Your product's appearance may differ from the pictures contained in this publication.
For recycling and environmental compliance information, please visit www.sram.com/en/company/about/environmental-policy-and-recycling.
Part Preparation
Remove the component from the bicycle before service.
Disconnect and remove the remote cable or hydraulic hose from the fork or rear shock, if applicable. For additional information about RockShox
remotes, user manuals are available at www.sram.com/service.
Clean the exterior of the product with mild soap and water to avoid contamination of internal sealing part surfaces.
Service Procedures
The following procedures should be performed throughout service, unless otherwise specified.
Clean the part with RockShox Suspension Cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a
clean, lint-free rag. For hard to reach places (e.g. upper tube, lower leg), wrap
a clean, lint-free rag around a non-metallic dowel to clean the inside.
Clean the sealing surface on the part and inspect it for scratches.
Replace the o-ring or seal with a new one from the service kit. Use your
fingers or a pick to pierce and remove the old seal or o-ring.
Apply grease to the new seal or o-ring.
NOTICE
Do not scratch any sealing surfaces when servicing the product. Scratches
can cause leaks. Consult the spare parts catalog to replace the damaged
part.
Use aluminum soft jaws when placing a part in a bench vise.
Tighten the part with a torque wrench to the torque value listed in the red bar.
When using a crowfoot socket and torque wrench, install the crowfoot socket
at 90 degrees to the torque wrench.
Specified torque value in N·m (in-lb)

Lower Leg Removal
Place an oil pan beneath the fork to catch the draining oil.
Loosen both bottom bolts 3 to 4 turns.
Strike each bottom bolt to dislodge the shafts from the lower leg on
each side. The bolt head should contact the bottom of the lower leg.
Remove each bottom bolt. Clean each bolt and set them aside.
Firmly pull the lower leg downward until fluid begins to drain. Continue
pulling downward to remove the lower leg.
If the lower leg does not slide off of the upper tube or if oil does not
drain from either side, the press fit of the shaft(s) into the lower leg may
still be engaged. Reinstall the bottom bolts 2 to 3 turns and repeat the
previous step.
NOTICE
Do not strike the fork arch with any tool when removing the lower leg
as this could damage the lower leg.
