Safety
WARNING
Properly tighten hardware
Always tighten hardware to the specied torque.
Over-tightening hardware could deform or break the
hardware or components. Under-tightening hardware
could cause hardware or components to become loose.
Either situation could damage the bicycle and result in
injury to the rider.
WARNING
Reapply threadlocker
All reused-fasteners with pre-applied threadlocker must
be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and have new thread-
locker applied before re-assembly. If threadlocker is not
applied, the fasteners may loosen which could damage
the bicycle and result in injury to the rider.
Scope
This manual contains parts diagrams, specications (such
as grease and torque values), instructions, and helpful
tips. It does not contain instructions for all components
(such as brake calipers). Refer to the original manufactur-

Replace bushings and carriage wiper seals
Tools for replacing the seals
• IsoStrut seal and bushing press tool set — 5317338
• Delrin rod, 1 inch (25.4mm)
• Headset press
• Maxima Suspension Plush Fluid 10wt oil — 600297
Tools for replacing the bushings
• Slide hammer
• 38 Expanding collet
• IsoStrut seal and bushing press tool set — 5317338
• Bushing sizer head — 5318880
• Bushing sizer handle — 5318944
• Clean, dry cloth
NOTICE: Inspect all tools prior to use to make sure they
are clean. Dirty tools could deposit grit into the shock
which could mar surfaces and create friction that could
damage the shock.
Remove the carriage wiper seals
1. Use the Delrin rod to pull out the front seal.
Tip: You may need to move the rod around the car-
riage to remove the seal.
2. Pull out the foam ring.
3. Use the Delrin rod to pull out the rear seal.
If you are replacing only the seals, see Replace the wiper
seals on page 18
If you are replacing both the seals and the bushings, con-
tinue with the Replace the bushings on page 16.

Replace the bushings
Notice: Do not apply grease to the bushings.
1. Put the slide hammer with the collet attached inside
the front end of the carriage.
Notice: Take care to engage only the bushing, and
NOT the interior of the carriage. Engaging the car-
riage could damage the carriage.
2. Thread the collet to engage the bushing lip.
Tip: Be careful not to engage the lip inside the car-
riage. Engage the bushing only.
3. Use the slide hammer to remove the bushing.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 to remove the rear bushing.
5. Wipe the bushing bores with a clean, dry cloth to
remove any debris.
6. Load a new bushing onto each bushing installation
tool.
Bushing
Use this side of the tool for pressing in
bushings.
Seal
Use this side of the tool for pressing in
seals.
Notice: Do not use grease when installing the bush-
ings. Using grease could cause the bushings to slip
out of place.
7. Put one tool with one bushing into the front of the
carriage, and the other tool with the other bushing into
the rear of the carriage.
8. Insert the upper half of the headset press into the
front of the carriage.
9. Insert the lower half of the headset press into the rear
end of the carriage and lock it into place.

2024 Supercaliber

10. Spin the headset press until it is snug against the
bushing tool. Check for correct alignment of the press,
tools, and bushings. Rotate the press to push the
bushings into place. It’s normal to have different gaps
at the front and rear of the carriage.
11. Tighten the press until you feel resistance. Once you
feel resistance, remove the press and tools.
12. Inspect the bushings to verify they are pressed deep
enough into the carriage. From the top of the bushing
to the step above the bushing, the measurements
should be:
Front = 16.5mm Rear = 10mm
13. Apply a light coat of Maxima Suspension Plush Fluid
10wt oil — 600297
14. From the front of the carriage, use the bushing sizer to
size the bushings to 38.01 - 38.07mm. The sizer can
be rotated to the left or to the right.
15. Repeat step 14 one to four times, alternating between
the front and rear bushings.

Replace the wiper seals
Notice: Take care to not scuff or scratch the bushings.
Scuffed or scratched bushing will need to be replaced.
1. Wipe the seal surface inside the carriage to remove
debris.
2. Load a new seal onto each seal installation tool.
Seal
Use this side of the tool for pressing in
seals.
Bushing
Use this side of the tool for pressing in
bushings.
3. Put one tool with one seal into the front of the car-
riage, and the other tool with the other seal into the
rear of the carriage.
4. Insert the upper half of the headset press into the
front of the carriage.
5. Insert the lower half of the headset press into the rear
end of the carriage and lock it into place.
6. Spin the headset press until it is snug against the seal
tool. Check for correct alignment of the press, tools,
and seals. Rotate the press to push the seals into
place.
7. Tighten the press until you feel resistance. Press the
wiper seals for approximately 30 seconds. Remove the
press and both tools.
8. Inspect the seals to verify there is no gap between the
seal and the carriage.
9. Soak the foam ring in Maxima Suspension Plush Fluid
10wt oil — 600297.
10. Install the foam ring into the front of the carriage.
