LOWER LEG SEAL SERVICE

1 Place the tip of a downhill tire lever underneath the lower lip of the

dust wiper seal.

NOTICE

If using a flat head screwdriver, make sure it has a round shaft. A

screwdriver with a square shaft will damage the fork leg.

2 Stabilize the lower legs on a bench top or on the floor. Hold the

lower legs firmly and use downward force on the tool handle to

leverage the dust wiper seal out. Repeat on the other side.

NOTICE

Keep the lower leg assembly stable. Do not allow the lower legs

to twist in opposite directions, compress toward each other, or

be pulled apart. This will damage the lower leg.

3 Use your fingers to remove and discard the foam rings inside the

lower legs.

4 Soak the new foam rings in RockShox 15wt suspension fluid.

Reinstall new foam rings on the top bushings in the lower legs.

from the end of the tube to approximately 60 mm into the tube.

2 Apply a liberal amount of grease to the air piston.

3 Apply a liberal amount of grease 40-60 mm around the air shaft.

Install the floating seal head, a new floating seal head topout

bumper, new aluminum support washer, new wavy washer and the

air shaft guide, in that order, onto the air shaft.

13 SOLO AIR SPRING INSTALLATION

4 Firmly push the air assembly into the bottom of the upper tube

while gently rocking the air shaft side to side.

Orient the washers so that the aluminum support washer goes into

the upper tube first, followed by the wavy washer.

5 Install the snap ring onto internal snap ring pliers. Use the pliers to

push the air shaft into the upper tube while installing the snap ring

into its groove. The air shaft guide should be situated between the

snap ring eyelets.

Make sure the snap ring is securely fastened in the snap ring

groove. Check this by using the snap ring pliers to rotate the

snap ring back and forth a couple of times, then firmly pulling

down on the air shaft.

Snap rings have a sharper-edged side and a rounder-edged side.

Installing snap rings with the sharper-edged side facing the tool

will allow for easier installation and removal.
