FOX¥ SHOCK DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove spring and bushings from shock eyes.
Thoroughly wash shocks in a parts washer or with
soap and water to remove dirt and other debris.
Dry thoroughly with compressed air. Position and
clamp body cap of shock in soft jaws (aluminum or
brass) of vise. Remove Allen screw from
pressure valve.
2. With valve outlet pointed in a safe direction, insert
red tip of safety needle assembly into recess in
shock pressure valve. Depress safety pin on
safety needle and push gauge and needle
assembly slowly toward shock, inserting needle.
Be sure to push needle completely into shock
valve. Release nitrogen in a safe direction by
turning T-handle clockwise (if equipped) or by
depressing Schrader valve pin.
CAUTION:
It is possible for some residual pressure to remain in
the shock regardless of the gauge reading. Always
completely remove valve from body cap before further
disassembly of shock.
