It's super easy to do, they sell a oil and seal kit for 15.00 and 10 mins. Check YouTube fox has a video that they made.
Mine had bigger problems.

I think Pink Bike has a Youtube vid too. All floats use the same kit (pretty sure). The only "special" tools are a small flat screwdriver with the tip bent -this helps to pry the 2nd rubber seal wedged between two white neoprene.
Another tip is for the last step, threading the body back on the canister: back off compression damping. Its tricky to get the threads restarted. I often enlist Rob @ Bikeway for that step but all shocks are different. _________________ Pedal, b*tches!! |

Yes, tim is right, that washer between the two white seals is the hardest part. _________________ I like big bikes and I can not lie. |
