Shock Fitting

bluefoam

My new RP23 arrived today (finally), however it arrived without the promised bushings/fitting hardware.

There are bushings on the old shock which is an '06 Float, will I be able to move these from one to the other? & if so, what is involved?

I don't have the old shock here, but the bushings seemed pretty tight when I last looked - is there any knack to removing/fitting them?

fox use the same DU bushes in there shocks so yes just pull out and fit to your new shock.
eg,

Cool,

What about the alu spacers, will they just slide off one and onto the other?

nicklouse

which ally spacers?

these are all you should need to swap.



but different bikes use different set ups. But as the eyelts are the same on all fox shocks every thing should be a straight swap.

unless you had a "special" shock.

I am special, but don't have a special shock (I think :? ).

The fittings look similar to those in your post. I presume I just give them a bit of a twist and tug & they should pop right off?

correct a bit of grease when fitting them to the new shock and you may be ok.

Thanks for the help, shock was fitted without trouble.

Sweet.
