Fox 36 Service - DIY or professional?

I've got a set of 2012 Talas 36 (RLC FIT) that could use a seal service at the very least, they've gone a bit "squeaky" which disappears if you leave it upside down overnight.
The Fox manual says about removing the seals with a screwdriver which seems a bit risky. Mojo have a video (for 32s though) where you completely remove the lowers.
Is a fork service a DIY job or should I send them to Mojo? Did contemplate a Kashima upgrade but reviews seem mixed?

Met some guys (and a lass) from Mojo at the weekend.. they def know their shiz.
I'd give em a call and see what they can do for you if its overdue a service/has never been serviced.0 -
I'd say, the lower leg service is a possible DIY job - provided you're a decent mechanic.
However, I send my 36s away for a full service, since I just don't have the tools to strip the damper assembly down.0 -
Still pretty new, could just be dry wipers. I'd get some Float Fluid, smear some around the bottom of the stanchion and pump the forks a few times. Picks up dust and stuff as well which you can wipe off.I don't do smileys.

Think that is the problem which is why I left it upside down for a few days. Don't know how much fluid is in the legs rather than being in the cartridge though? I'll try the float fluid on the stantion approach as a start though.cooldad wrote:Still pretty new, could just be dry wipers.

Does anyone actually do the seal service every 15 hours as per Fox's recommendation?0 -
