Thanks for walking us through, bro. You successfully proved this can be done at home. My FloatX is cavitating and has been shelved for 6mos. Replace with a coil, but still appreciate the poppiness of air. Looks like I'm gonna just save up the $220 and send this sucker off.

Read the comment’s apparently copying the super deluxe bleed procedure is the way to go and is easy . Learning curve is steep on suspension

[@beno9966]

Thanks, I never want to do this at home from watching this!

[@OtterMTBtech]

The bleeding is hard no bull shit

[@deadfinggerz]

Deflate shock in the bike. That way you can check your linkage too.

[@OtterMTBtech]

Good idea

[@andrewsiasparks]

Ypu made it harder then you had too. A bleed cup in the ifp or sink the ifp and draw fluid back and forth until there's no bubbles

[@justsayin3600]

I just sent mine to Fox, got a complete rebuild, all new parts, and a medium + shim tune, and a 1.0 spacer for 216.00 They gave me the leftover spacers.

Ugh! I have this service coming up. Good to know that a lot of spare time is necessary... Regarding the pin spanner wrench I have found in some forum that the home mechanics there just use a crescent wrench/Knipex type. Hope that works since I don't want to spend another 40-1xx buckazoids.

[@dallenellsworth9080]

Knipex work perfectly. You got this

[@tomalbert3299]

@@dallenellsworth9080 No scratching/damaging or do I have to have some protection layer like paper or so in between?

[@KillGates-s3r]

I had oil in the air side, hope its not a thing with this shocks. Cause i havent ridden it so hard yet. Like the shock float x cause i can pedal and jump, if it just right.

[@NorCalRide]

Im curious now what the manufacturering process is for shocks.

[@antn8387]

It costs more to rebuild. And after watching this vide, I'll just buy new shocks instead of rebuilding them.

[@OtterMTBtech]

Valid point service can cost more than it is worth

Jesus christ why did you do it the hardest way possible? 😂 Put the stanchion in the vise, fill it up, fill the ipf reservoir and bleed the shaft. Then screw the sealhead to the stanchion that’s in the vise. Look up the service manual for a rockshox super deluxe.

[@OtterMTBtech]

Thanks for feedback I will, that makes sense, the air is trapped in the stanchion the first 3 times I tried
